Re-discovering home birth

Did you know that all the Kings and Queens of England including the present one, were born at home (Diana was actually the first princess to birth her babies in hospital).

Today, home birth is becoming once again a popular choice among women opting for a more natural approach of childbirth. This increasing trend can be seen with the growing number of celebrities who have chosen to give birth at home. Meryl Streep, Demi Moore, Cindy Crawford, Lisa Bonet, Pamela Anderson and Jade Jagger are just few.


In UK, the government figures show that 22% of pregnant women would opt for a home birth if given the option.


In area where it is promoted by midwives and supported by GP, as much as 25% of women give birth at home compare to the National average rate of 2%. In total around 15 000 babies are born at home each year.
