While home births are completely normal in the Netherlands, only less than 1% of babies in other European countries are born naturally at home. With the help of midwives Iris Rapolder and Felicitas Henkel from www.hausgeburt-darmstadt.de we bust some myths about having your baby at home:

* Why and when should I consider a home birth?
* Is it dangerous for me or my baby?
* Is it messy?
*Who will support me?
* How do I find and choose a midwife,
and many more questions answered.

As always: Listen, like, comment and above all: SHARE with other (future) moms who need to hear this!
