Die omvang en uitkomste van tuisgeboortes in Pretoria

M.Cur. / There is little information about the outcomes and safety of home births, although more and more women are starting to lean towards natural and active births. A home birth provides a more relaxed environment with familiar attendants and less medical intervention. No separation exists between mother and baby as well as other family members. Freedom of movement is promoted and the woman can eat and drink as she pleases. Unnecessary routine preparation for labour doesn't exist and privacy is respected. The purpose of this research was to explore and describe the outcomes of home births in Pretoria, attended by private midwifes, and to provide guidelines in relation with home births.
