The Online Childbirth Class

In keeping with the theme of this website, you have the right to make informed decisions about your own health and healthcare. This includes how, when, where, and with whom you will give birth. The medical establishment would have you believe that the only safe place to have a baby is in a hospital. The medical research, however, indicates otherwise.
In this study, “The risk of perinatal or neonatal mortality was not different when birth was intended at home or in hospital.”
So you do have choices. Below we will discuss many topics relevant to your decision about prenatal care, prenatal testing, birth attendants, birth positions, birth locations, newborn care, and empowerment through birth.
