I was quite surprised myself to learn that as long as no complications is expected and the nearest hospital isn't far away should something go wrong - then it is really better to give birth at home than in the hospital.
We've been through five pregnancies, the last birth was finally as it should be; uncomplicated and at home.
My first steem post covered this journey - and I did briefly mention the story of Semmelweis there as well. :-)
What is that?
