It seems commonly assumed that the way to deliver a baby is in a hospital.  Or to be more specific it is assumed that medicine is necessary to deliver a baby. In this article we hope to point out some facts that break those assumptions.We are going to show you some other methods that might prove to be better.

Of course these observations are going to be coming from the viewpoint of my experience running a San Diego midwife service.  If you are unaware midwives are woman who help assist during the delivery process.A lot of the times without the use of medicine in a homebirth.

So why are women choosing this method of delivery?For the many women that go with this method and understand it, it is because of several reasons.

First of all, when you don’t use medicine in the labor, it actually makes the process of labor and delivery faster.Quite a few women don’t understand that when you use medicine it makes the labor slow down.  Women use it to ease the pain but it actually prolongs the pain.  There are many certified midwives in San Diego who can show you proof of that.

Second, the use of the natural method and sometimes through waterbirth actually helps soothe and relax the bodies during delivery.This produces a delivery with less pain and makes having the delivery occur much faster.  I have seen it helping many women have a waterbirth in San Diego.

Those are just the beginning of many reasons that women have chosen a homebirth rather than the usual method of delivery.  Although it has no use of medicine and usually no doctors it has proven to be a safe method.When you have the delivery in the home, it helps keep the act personal and private.  Rather than in a hospital where there are several people who poke and prod through the labor.So with those reasons in mind, many women are going with a homebirth.  It is safe and dignified and a great natural process.
