The Continuum of Childbirth Options

As you slide across the continuum of birthing options from one extreme to another, you’ll come across all the different options, each one a shifting equation between the two different realms of control... The Continuum of Childbirth Options

Home birth: Women who choose to deliver in the most old-fashioned, low-tech way possible have the luxury of writing all their own rules for their labor and birth, and they put a personalized stamp on the experience by dictating their surroundings. They believe that their baby is safest with the fewest possible medical interventions. But by choosing this path, they are also giving up the comfort of knowing that a potentially lifesaving operating room or NICU is just an elevator ride away.
