Reply To: Ladies would you consider homebirth?

You know something? THe one reason I am hesitant to ever truly consider a homebirth is in the case of a very rare but life threatening situation called placenta accreta. This is when the placenta has actually grown abnormally into the uterus and beyond the walls. It requires immediate hysterectomy. Also hemmorhage is not wanted in a homebirth. Homebirth sounds so nice, but truly these issues I just mentioned are things that cannot be screened out by a health care provider before hand. No one can know if a woman’s uterus will contract down normally and stop bleeding after delivery. It’d be a tragedy….
