Body:	<div class="NTForums_Quote">Posted By Archived User on 05/13/2006 11:28 AM<br>Hi, <BR>I am not Henci, but being a 'homebirther' (expecting #4 any day now) and being from the Netherlands, I have looked into this. <BR>One site I can refer you to, and I would love to have Henci's feedback on this is http://www.gentlebirth.org/ronnie/homesafe.html <BR>I am coming from a background where homebirth is normal, so I have not done much researching and comparing myself, but overal the conclusion seems to be that homebirth with an experienced attendant is as safe as hospital birth. My 'own' conclusion added to that is that the risk of interventions is 1/3 greater in hospitals than at home, and that the risk of infections is quite high in hospitals as well. <BR>maria.
