Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photography | Why Homebirth

Homebirth!

An amazing, beautiful and empowering experience… Something that I wish all expecting mamas would consider. Of course know that wherever you birth does not matter if you feel safe to birth there.

Home birth is an incredible option to bring your baby into earth side. They will be birthed into the comfort of their own home, surrounded by their loved ones.

But let’s talk about the real nitty gritty benefits of home birthing.

Your home is full of yours and your baby’s microbiome. This means that you basically have an ecosystem of bacteria, fungal, viruses and germs that you, your family and baby are exposed to. Birthing your baby at home minimises the exposure to foreign germs.

When you choose to homebirth you are also minimising your risk to unnecessary intervention. Women who homebirth have a lower rate of 3rd and 4th degree tears. Have higher success rates for VBAC and more personalised care.

So why do women choose to home
