Why Home Birth Matters by Natalie Meddings
In the 21st century, women are supposed to have a choice about where they give birth. But when that choice is home, women often encounter obstacles, despite robust evidence that birth at home is safe, beneficial and should be available for women who want it. Why Home Birth Matters is a clear discussion of the reality of modern home birth, which aims to show how the home environment supports and powers the birth process, while encouraging parents to consider how it might work for them.Natalie has been an active birth yoga teacher and doula since 2003. She trained with eminent obstetrician and author Michel Odent and founder of the Active Birth Movement, Janet Balaskas. Natalie is the founder of the national support network tellmeagoodbirthstory.com, a mother-matching site that supports pregnant women. She currently runs a weekly active birth yoga class in Barnes, South West London. Natalie has three children – Constance who was born in a free-standing NHS birth centre in Edgware, and Pearl and Walter who were born happily into a pool of warm water at home.
