Is a SC Homebirth for You?

Is a SC Homebirth for You?


Thanks for being here.  I'm so glad you've found us!  This website is dedicated to serving you and your baby by providing resources and information on how to keep your pregnancy healthy and normal. I hope to help you, as you decide if a SC homebirth is right for you.

When you have a normal and healthy pregnancy, you have ALL of your choices available. If your pregnancy takes a different turn, you unfortunately lose those choices and become subject to interventions and procedures that you may not want.
