Health,

Please don’t get so worked up about this. There are definite benefits to delivering in a hospital, as well as definite benefits to homebirths. Neither one is an absolute negative or positive. Everyone should do their own research and do what’s good for them.

Are there more chances of a non-required, physician-preferred c/s in a hospital (leading to other possible complications)? Yes

Are there more chances of cross-infection in a hospital? Yes

Are there more chances of having available emergency care in a hospital if necessary, such as an emergency c/s in an OR, resuscitation equipment, qualified medical personnel? Yes

So please don’t bash either one. People can make their own well thought out, researched decisions.
