“THERE IS A SECRET IN OUR CULTURE AND IT IS NOT THAT BIRTH IS PAINFUL BUT THAT WOMEN ARE STRONG”

Home Birth

Studies show that for low risk people, giving birth at home, in Victoria, with a privately practicing midwife leads to a higher vaginal birth rate and fewer interventions. 

Low risk people who planned a home birth were significantly more likely to have a spontaneous vaginal birth. For low risk people, planned home birth was associated with a significantly lower rate of HDU/ICU admission, severe perineal trauma, postpartum haemorrhage, blood transfusion, manual removal of placenta and intrapartum haemorrhage. The rates of unplanned caesarean, assisted vaginal birth, epidural analgesia, general anaesthetic, and episiotomy were significantly lower in those planning to give birth at home.
