NEW YORK

A mother chose home birth, because it is cheaper than go was in a hospital. Another gave birth at home, because she has multiple sclerosis and dreaded medical intervention. And you choose some home births after the Caesarean sections with their first baby.

What whatever their motivation, all belong to a distinctive trend: home births increased 20 percent from 2004 to 2008, accounting for 28,357 by 4.2 million U.S. births, according to a study by the Centers for disease control and prevention published in May.

The drive with 1 in 98 with babies at home led white women in 2008, compared to 1 in 357 black women and 1 in 500 Hispanics.

Sherry Hopkins, midwife, Las Vegas said the women, whose home births they attended, is an emergency room doctor, a pediatrician, and nurses. "We see well-trained and marketability of people who want to give birth at home, in any case," she said.

Robbie Davis-Floyd, a medical anthropologist at the University of Texas at Austin and researchers on global trends in the birth, obstetrics and Gynecology, said "first in the 1970's, a hippie countercultural, was largely what to give birth outside the hospital." "Over the years as earlier, 'Lay' have become midwives far more complex, its clientele has so."

American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which confirmed OB GYNs, warns that home births insecure, especially when the mother has a conditions if a birth can be

Attendant is poorly trained, and if there is no nearby hospital emergency. Also question whether a "feminist Machoism" want to play, to give birth at home is some doctors.

But at home, Birthers say that they wish to be free from drugs, fetal monitors, IVs, and print their work at the behest of doctors and hospitals hurry. They prefer working in tubs of water or on hands and knees, run around the living room or comfort in their own beds, surrounded by love, how they hear music or hypnosis recordings with the support of midwives and doulas. Some even go, without midwives and rely on husbands or other non-professionals for support.

Some home of Birthers cite concerns about Caesarean sections. Approximately up to 60 percent in the fast 32 percent in some areas the U.S. rate which is C sections in hospitals. In some cases, a "too posh to push" mentality of the planned is inductions for convenience sake (Victoria Beckham three had).

Gina Crosley-Corcoran, a Chicago blogger and preparatory student had to abandon their first child and chronological nightmarish pressure of nurses and doctors, a vaginal birth with their second with a c section.

It followed with a third child was born at home in April.

"I think it happened a backlash against in hospitals," she said. "Women find that the hospital experience was not good."

In Portland, Oregon/United States, acupuncturist Becca Seitz gave birth, both were their children at home, the first time in 2007, because she and her husband without insurance.

"It never was on my radar until we otherwise could not afford," she said. "I am cereals, but not that Granola." "It costs us $3300, in contrast to more than $10,000 in a hospital."

Their midwife was prepared with the drug Pitocin, oxygen and other medical equipment.

"they both were, born on the toilet," she said. "It was a beautiful location." "There is a possibility that we are accustomed, slide."

Dr. Joel Evans, the rare Boardcertified whether GYN, which supports home birth, said that the medical establishment has become "resistant against change, resistant to dialogue, resistant to flexibility."

"Women now look for alternatives where protocols, but good what birth and increasing stress and anxiety to delivery, have the effect of medicalizing match as individuals, as opposed to forced to be treated", said Evans, founder and Director of the Center for women's health in Stamford, Connecticut, and a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Albert Einstein College of medicine in New York City.

By some accounts, took place in the year 1900, 95 percent of U.S. births at home. She slipped to half of 1938 and less than 1 per cent from 1955.
