As the American resurgence of Home Birth began in the 1970s, there was little evidence of its safety. Today, we have wide support of the scientific literature to prove that a Home Birth is not only as safe, if not safer, a place to give birth, but offers a more gentle, compassionate and respectful birth to mom and baby.

"It has never been scientifically proven that the hospital is a safer place than home for a woman who has had an uncomplicated pregnancy to have her baby. Studies of planned home births in developed countries with women who have had uncomplicated pregnancies have shown sickness and death rates for mother and baby equal to or better than hospital birth statistics for women with uncomplicated pregnancies."
