PRESENTATION
Should
Australian
mothers be
discouraged
from home
births?
YES! Australian
mothers should be
discouraged from
homebirth.
BUT FIRST…
What is Home birth?
Home Birth – is an attended or
unattended child-birth
In non – clinical setting using natural
childbirth methods; that takes place in
the residence rather than the hospital
and usually attended by midwife or lay
attendant with expertise in home
birthing.
HOME BIRTH
Home Birth have a high
mortality rate for
unborn babies and have
a high safety risk and
death rates associated
with it compared to
hospital/clinic births.
The preferences
of the Mother
should not be
allowed to take
over the child
safety and put
their lives on
risk.
• Mother’s should understand that there is a huge possibility and risk that the child might die by choosing to have a homebirth.
• Mother’s should know that morally it is their responsibility and duty of care to avoid putting her own child at increased risk.
• Mother’s have their own rights to choose of where and how are they going to give birth, but they don’t have the right to put their baby at risk.
If something
goes wrong
there is often
insufficient
time to get
expert
assistance.
• Even though it has been judged that the mother and the unborn child is safe from homebirth, you can’t be so sure that the child is in good condition and there is a high possibility that unforeseen complication can arise that need attention more than a assistance of midwife.
• It is a best decision to give birth in the hospital where all the equipment or apparatus you need is there to support you in terms of emergency because a life of a child is so important that you wouldn’t realise it’s gone in a ‘nick of time’.
