For pro-homebirth, consider this: 1) Postpartum hemorrage- uterine blood flow is ~800ml/min; you can lose your entire blood volume in 5min if bleeding is not arrested. 2) Baby born flat/not breathing: generally speaking, permanent irreversible brain damage occurs when the brain is oxygen deprived for 4min These can happen to anybody. Thankfully they dont. So...if youre confident that none of those would not happen to you, or that treatment/intervention can be instituted within 5min (not get to hospital in 5min) if it does, then Bravo for willing to take a risk no consultant Obstetrician or Consultant Paediatrician would.
