I’m sure with recent media coverage around home birth the question of “is it safe” may be coming up for people so we wanted to share this great article by Dr Sara Wickham that brings together lots of research and evidence to show that yes it is safe, a really worthwhile read with lots of great information (link in the post below)…..

We always see loads of questions about home birth.

I can't answer individual queries, but I have a website full of free information.

It also has links to my books and other sources of useful info for when you want more depth.

Because so many people ask, "is home birth safe?" (and yes, it is), that's the name of our home birth information hub.

It offers links to all of my info on this topic and an overview of the most recent studies in this area.

This quote is from just one study looking at the safety of home birth, and there are many more.

So have a look at our information hub, and yes, please feel free to share/repost this pic or link with our text and credit intact.

One of our previous attendees brought their beautiful baby, born at home, and our Community Midwife got a little cuddle.

We created this fact sheet for our group last night which gives some key information and statistics around the safety of home birth.

It’s quite small but we wanted to share it here, we have copies of this for those that attend to take away or we can send it over to you upon request.

We hope it’s useful in your decision making around your choice of place of birth 🙂
