In this episode Rebekah shares how she went about choosing to give birth to her first baby at home and how his birth story unfolded and then she and Eden dive into the statistics on the safety of homebirth.

Here’s the main study we cite: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC558373/#!po=27.7778

And here’s some resources!

My favorite book on homebirth safety: “Homebirth: Safe and Sacred” by Kim Osterholzer

Another great one: “Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering” by Sarah J. Buckley, MD

A couple documentaries:

“The Business of Being Born” https://watch.thebusinessof.life/bizoffilms/play/621fe8b47c1e9a00374c4c8b

“Why Not Home?” https://www.whynothome.com

An awesome podcast my friend Brooke did with her husband where they dive into many of the concerns husbands typically have with homebirth, many of which involve safety: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/holy-wild-birth/id1632340260?i=1000587934909
