Home Hospital Birth
Empowered: Hospital Birth
“Ultimately the issue of the safety of home birth cannot be settled by research… It comes down to a matter of individual choice.  The real question about safety is not, 'do you want a pleasant birth at home or a safe birth in the hospital?'  It is, 'do you want to give birth at home and run the minuscule risk of an emergency that might (but not necessarily would) be handled better in the hospital, or do you want to give birth in the hospital and run the considerably increased risk of infection, the certainty of additional stress, and the near certainty of having unnecessary (and potentially risky) interventions?' "  ~ Henci Goer
