"Home Birth Guidelines for Safety"

a stack of blue signs that all read "SAFETY FIRST" are piled up next to a wooden wall

This doula has compiled a thorough, evidence-based list of criteria that she recommends for deciding whether or not a home birth is advisable in the US, based on criteria in other countries where home birth "has been shown to be a safe option".
"Home Birth Guidelines for Safety"

I'd like to add a suggestion, for pregnant folks considering an out-of-hospital birth. There's a phenomenal book that's been recently published by Courtney Jarecki, Homebirth Cesarean, that interviews new parents and providers who have experienced an unplanned transfer and c-section. She offers a great deal to think about, and strategies for rolling with unpredictable births.

Are you considering locations for an upcoming birth? It'd be an honor to sit with you and be a sounding board while you figure things out.
