      If this Royal baby was indeed a homebirth, it would be great if it meant more couples considered it as an option. Our second son was born at home and it was such a contrast to his elder brother's (hospital) birth.https://twitter.com/HuffPostUK/status/1125419684067721216 …

      careful - anecdotes are not as good as data. Childbirth can be very dangerous and there is a reason it should take place close to medical help.

      Careful, you need to read the data. Childbirth is generally very safe. Here's the key findings of the landmark Birthplace study by @birthplace_jen. And homebirth is close to medical help. It's called a midwife (and 2 at home). https://www.npeu.ox.ac.uk/birthplace/results …

      Just reading the summary, it is clear that nulliparous women electing for home birth are at twice as high a risk as non-home birth, and more than a third will transfer to a medical facility during birth.

      Dr Martin, I'm more than aware of the risk level for 1st time mothers (and 9/1000 is still low), my point was that our experience of our 2nd son's birth was backed up by the data (just as safe as hospital, and lower episiotomy rate), not mere 'anecdote'.pic.twitter.com/2FbzP4m9C7

      My wider point was that not enough couples are aware even of the option of home birth. It's about informed choice. And if Meghan's choice has helped publicise the options available to other women, good for her.

      My understanding is that the hospital vs home birth safety stats are hugely skewed by the fact that any home birth that goes wrong & ends up in hospital with medical intervention is classified as a hospital birth and not a home birth, so the home birth safety stats are misleading

          Sorry Julia but your understanding is wrong. The whole point of that study was to compare *planned* home births v *planned* hospital births. They have not misclassified one as the other.

          That anyone in this country considers a home birth is a damning indictment of our maternity services.

          Um, no. Some women just prefer to labour and birth at home in their own space. I did.

          If the birth didn’t happen st home it wasn’t a home birth. I had planned for a home birth with my first child but the Labour went badly, meconium in the water. Had to transfer to hospital (by car) had a very long Labour and baby doctors on hand. It was right to transfer.

          Maybe read the studies you’re referring to first before commenting on their reliability? https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg190/evidence …

          I wonder if the home birth movement is a folk memory from the 19th century when maternity hospitals really were slaughter houses. But since the germ theory of disease was developed, hospitals are much safer.

          Current good quality evidence quoted by NICE suggests that planned home birth safer for healthy women, and as safe as hospital for the babies of second/subsequent pregnancies.

          Home birth statistics stat better outcomes for low risk mums and babies! Home births that go ‘wrong’ is a bit generalised Julia! Mainly it’s not that they go ‘wrong’ but often things change intrapartum, such as meconium stained liquor or women wanting further analgesia.

          I don't have any stats, but recall in WW2, '50s & '60s mothers assumed babies wd be born at home & the majority were home births (no shortage of mid-wives). So, Prince Harry reverting to old days!
