DOudou is right. Midwives at a homebirth carry oxygen ,equipment for cannulation, IV fluids - all the stuff needed to stabilise you or your baby in the event of an emergency. Emergencies during birth almost always occur with warning signs , and homebirth midwives are generally highly experienced and well-versed in detecting those warning signs. And at a homebirth ,your midwife is youts alone, you don't share her with anyone else, so she can focus solely on you and is more likely to detect problems before they occur.

The research is pretty clear on the fact that there is no benefit to continuous electronic monitoring, in particular for a low-risk pregnancy, and the initial treatment for obstetric emergencies is just the sa,e at home as it is in a hospital.

Homebirth is a wonderful option ,and there is a huge body of peer-reviewed research that indicates it is also a safe option. I say go for it!
