Me, The Man & The Baby: Homebirths

methemanandthebaby.com -- I read a article in the Guardian yesterday which was about a survey claims over home birth being more of a risk then a hospital birth. Apparently a home birth carries three times the risk that the baby will die then if you were to have the baby in hospital. I do not believe this to be true , I believe that both have just the same risks. Which the Royal College of Midwives has confirmed.

I too commented on your blog (which I also think is excellent btw), as I’m planning a home birth for my first baby in October. I’ve had mixed reactions from friends but fortunately have a wonderful midwife, who is entirely supportive and has put me totally at ease, despite recent media coverage. Having previously been terrified of labour, I am now looking forward to it.
I thought you might be interested in this story from yesterday’s Guardian…
