"HOME-BIRTHING—IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?"

My ten children were birthed at home

Obstetrics and Gynecology have become one of the most correct branches of medicine

Many of the risks associated with delivery are, in part, due to the routine practices of obstetrics

In the past four decades, Obstetrics is one of the only branches of medicine that has not experienced improved outcomes

Most countries in the world, throughout history and today, do not consider pregnancy a disease and babies are safely delivered at home
