Home Birth: Our Journey to Sanity

Commentary

Home births abandon the cold, sterile environment of a hospital in favor of the familiar comfort of home. They make use of the simple wisdom and kindness of a midwife rather than the pharmaceuticals drugs, surgeries and fancy equipment of a medical doctor.
