Happy International Home Birth Day!

It’s International Homebirth Day!

So why might someone choose to have their baby at home?
-it is as safe as hospital birth for many women & babies
-less risk of interventions (e.g. episiotomy, forceps, caesarean)
-do not have to leave house while in labour to transfer to hospital
-can have whoever you want present (inc. children)
-get to sleep in own bed straight after
-less risk of picking up hospital infections (inc. most recently COVID-19!)
-previous traumatic hospital birth experience
-visits from midwife at home after birth
Research shows that a planned home birth is a safe alternative to a planned hospital birth for many pregnant women. Homebirths in Ireland are available under the HSE and also privately.

The HSE provides homebirths directly through a few hospitals (National Maternity Hospital, Waterford General & Wexford General) and in-directly through Self Employed Community Midwives (SECMs). These midwives are insured and paid for by the HSE but sourced directly by the parents-to-be.

Private Midwives have their own insurance and are paid for by the parents-to-be. These midwives generally have more flexibility in who they provide care for and may cover areas not covered by HSE services.

**ONLINE ANTENATAL COURSES**
*Live 1:1, not pre-recorded, tailored to each couple’s needs**

-Antenatal
-VBAC
-Breastfeeding Preparation

We at Antenatal Ireland can feel the distress of pregnant people and their partners in this uncertain time. Facing into birth and early parenting without access to antenatal education may be daunting.

Many of our small group classes and private in-home 1:1 classes are still running, with social distancing measures adopted.

However, for those who cannot, or would rather not, attend face-to-face classes we are preparing free content on our new YouTube Channel (coming soon!) and will also be offering private online courses. We recognise that not everyone is in a position to pay upfront for private courses so we will be offering payment plans for those who need them and a sliding scale for those most in need.

PM or email info@antenatalireland.ie for more information.
