Home births are an option for women who have low-risk pregnancies and no labor complications.However,according to a position statement by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG),women who choose to deliver at home should be well- informed and should ensure access to rapid and timely transportation to the closest hospital in case of emergency (ACOG,2011).Obstetricians will not deliver babies at home.Although pain management may be an important consideration,this is not as important as ensuring the safety of both mother and baby.Trying to convince the woman to go against her beliefs is disrespectful.
