Their babies are not taken away from them following the birth. Women who give birth at home feel empowered and strengthened. They must reach deeply within to grasp the strength to overcome the difficulties of labor. Later in their lives they feel that they can achieve anything with this internal power. The home where a baby is born becomes a very special, even sacred place for the family.
Home birth begins with thorough prenatal care.
Healthy nutrition and exercise is necessary for a healthy pregnancy. Prenatal classes teach techniques for coping with labor without drugs. Preparation and support for breastfeeding are begun early. This saves thousands of dollars for the young families and their insurance companies.
