A home birth is a type of childbirth that takes place in the mother's own home, rather than in a hospital or other medical facility. It involves hiring a midwife to assist with the delivery and providing care before, during, and after labor. Home births are often chosen for their comfort and convenience, as well as for their potential to provide a more natural birthing experience. However, they also come with certain risks that must be carefully considered by expectant mothers and their healthcare providers.
