The Heart and Science of Homebirth is a compelling combination of the heart of homebirth—the emotional and social reasons homebirth is desirable, and the science of homebirth—the research which has consistently found homebirth to be every bit as safe, and in some cases more so, as hospital birth. 46 pages comb-bound.

The Homebirth Pack

Homebirth: It's not just a place, it's a way to birth that empowers women and safeguards babies' health for a lifetime. Midwifery Today's Homebirth Pack can answer all your questions about this safe, comfortable and private way to birth.

What's In the Homebirth Pack?

More than a dozen homebirth midwives and several researchers explain homebirth's many virtues in the booklet, The Heart and Science of Homebirth, and two homebirth midwives describe the basics in the booklet called The Homebirth Choice. Four audiotapes from Midwifery Today conferences provide information on home waterbirth, how to handle complications and keep transport rates low; two more tapes explain why homebirth should set the standard of care. Instructors are vastly experienced and much-loved homebirth midwives and even one homebirth doctor. A copy of Midwifery Today Issue 50, a veritable textbook on homebirth, rounds out the package.
This is the definitive package for families searching for all the information they need about homebirth and for midwives who want to improve their knowledge and homebirth practice.
