The topic of my article is home births and is found on cnn.com and is titled “How safe are home births for mothers?”.
A majority of mothers in home births report having to foot the bill themselves, where as almost all hospital births are covered by private insurance or Medicaid. If that weren’t enough, women have to deal with the stigma associated with a home birth. Women may be told by their obstetrician they’re risking their baby’s life if they choose a home birth, with some obstetricians arguing that doctors have an ethical obligation to oppose home births.
This is very true and i believe that home births are very dangerous and if a woman had the time to make it to a hospital she should do everything she can to make it to a hospital for the safety of her child.
