Why Should You Consider Home Births?

In recent years, home births have become increasingly popular worldwide, and Brazil is one of the leading countries in this trend. No matter how wonderfully equipped our maternity wards are now, many women still find the home environment more comfortable for giving birth.

Based on this, our company BabyInBrazil.com can help you find suitable accommodation that will be convenient not only for the expectant mother and her support group to live in, but also for conducting the birth with additional amenities and comfort.

Let's examine the advantages and disadvantages of this choice!

Pros of Home Births:

• Cozy Environment. Giving birth in a familiar home environment helps many women feel more relaxed and comfortable.
• Individual Approach. Our doctors and midwives can devote more time and attention to the expectant mother, providing personalized care.
• Reduced Medical Intervention. Home births often proceed with fewer interventions, which can promote the natural process.
• Family Support. Giving birth in a home environment allows loved ones and family to be nearby, which can increase the level of support and comfort.
• Control Over Conditions. A woman can create her ideal birthing space, including lighting, music, and overall atmosphere.

Cons of Home Births:

• Risk of Complications. As with any birth, there is a risk of unexpected complications. It's important to have experienced specialists nearby who, like ours, have rich experience in home births.
• Limited Access to Medical Equipment. In case of emergency assistance needed, transportation to the hospital may take time, so we select accommodation for visiting mothers near our maternity hospitals.
• Need for Prior Preparation. It's necessary to prepare all the required conditions and materials for the birth in advance. Our specialists, having sufficient experience, have everything necessary, but in case of rare emergency situations, when delivering babies near the hospital, we always have the opportunity to deliver additional equipment and medications.
• Not for Everyone. Some medical conditions may make home births unsafe. Before agreeing to home delivery, we conduct additional examinations to maximize the guarantee of safe births.
• Legislative Issues. ("Legislative issues" refer to matters concerning legislation.) In some countries, there may be restrictions or legal nuances related to home births. However, in Brazil, home births conducted by certified doctors and midwives are permitted. We have all the necessary permits, so you can safely contact us.

Home births are a choice that can offer many advantages, but also require serious preparation and awareness of possible risks. If you're considering this option, be sure to consult with our specialists beforehand to make the best choice for yourself and your future baby!

Financial Aspects of Births in Brazil: Hospital vs Home Births

Hospital Births

• Cost. Depending on the clinic and room you choose, a hospital birth can cost from 4,000 to 15,000 reais (approximately from 750 to 2.5 thousand dollars) for normal births. If there are complications, the cost will increase based on additional services provided.
• Insurance. All our maternity hospitals (https://babyinbrazil.com/en/hospitals.html) offer medical insurance that covers part of the costs for hospital births, which can reduce your expenses.

Home Births

• Cost. Midwife services for home births can vary from 1,500 to 6,000 reais (or from 750 to 1100 dollars). However, it may be necessary to additionally purchase necessary equipment or medications. This is determined individually in each specific case.
• Additional Expenses. If complications arise and medical assistance is required, unexpected expenses may occur for transportation to the hospital and, accordingly, additional care there.

Thus, hospital births have higher costs but with the possibility of insurance coverage and guaranteed medical intervention if necessary. Home births are usually cheaper, but with risks and potential additional expenses.

Therefore, home births may be financially more advantageous if you have a normal pregnancy, and we guarantee to find you an experienced midwife. However, considering the risks and possible unforeseen expenses, many prefer the hospital, as it provides more confidence in safety. It's always worth consulting with our doctors, who will help consider all factors before you make a final decision.

How are Home Births Organized in Brazil?

In Brazil, home births are becoming increasingly popular among expectant mothers. Here are the main aspects related to their organization:

• Choosing a Specialist. For each home birth, we assign an experienced obstetrician and/or doula, who specialize in home births and can provide necessary medical assistance.
• Home Preparation. It's important to create a comfortable space for the birth, including a birthing area where there will be enough space for the woman and specialists, as well as for the future child. When agreeing to give birth with us, this is our primary task: to select appropriate rental accommodation for maximum convenience and comfort.
• Medical Equipment. Usually our obstetricians bring necessary equipment to monitor the mother's and child's condition, including for monitoring heartbeat and ensuring cleanliness.
• Support and Accompaniment. From your side, it's important to have support from your partner, family, or friends who can help during the process.
• Birth Plan. Women giving birth create an individual birth plan that takes into account their preferences and desires regarding the process.
• Preparation for Emergency Situations. Everyone is recommended to have a plan in case transportation to the hospital is needed. We specifically select accommodation for mothers that is within walking distance from the hospital, so that in case of an emergency situation, we can easily and quickly deliver the newborn and his mother to the necessary equipment in our clinic.
• Postpartum Care. The obstetrician or doula can also offer support in the postpartum period, including consultation on breastfeeding and newborn care.

These aspects help women feel more confident and comfortable during the home birth process.

In our maternity hospitals, experienced obstetricians and doulas have been working for many years, highly qualified specialists who handle home births.

Help and Support During Home Births

Help and support from parents, and/or husband, partner, family, or friends who can help in the process of preparing the mother for childbirth, during childbirth, and the postpartum period can never be excessive.

The best support at an important moment is when loved ones are with you during the birth process in Brazil.

The time of preparation for childbirth is not only about medical issues but also about support, love, and care from the closest people. We in Brazil understand how important a support circle is for an expectant mother far from home, and we offer solutions that will help you and your family go through this journey together.

Family Support is the Key to Success

The birth process becomes easier and more pleasant when loved ones are nearby. We recommend creating a support team that can include:

• Partner or husband. They can be a support in difficult times, helping not only physically but more emotionally.
• Parents and close friends. Their presence will give confidence and create an atmosphere of love and care.

Preparation for Childbirth: Together—It's Easier!

Our practice has shown that the resources and advice we offer will help your loved ones be useful in preparing for childbirth, for example:

• Courses for husbands/partners. Training in skills that will help your husband/partner become reliable support during childbirth.
• Baby care workshops. Prepare your loved ones for how to care for a newborn. Although in our postpartum programs there is the possibility to hire a housekeeper, there is also a grandmother's help service, and even a food delivery service according to your preferences, but no one can replace the help of close people.

Emotional Support During Childbirth

Having loved ones nearby at the moment of birth can significantly reduce stress and create a comfortable atmosphere. That's why we recommend:

• Help us create a cozy atmosphere in the delivery room. Your loved ones can help organize the space and take care of the little things that will make the process more comfortable.
• Spend time with the expectant mother while waiting for childbirth, discussing her expectations and concerns. This will create a trusting atmosphere important for moral support. No matter how good our doulas are, they can only be an excellent addition to communication with close people.

Postpartum Support: No Less Important!

The first weeks after the baby appears can be difficult. We recommend actively involving loved ones in the process, and our courses, mentioned above, will help loved ones tune in to the right mood:

• Help with baby care: Loved ones can help with feeding, diaper changing, and other concerns, allowing the mother to recover.
• Emotional support: Communication with friends and loved ones will help reduce anxiety and fatigue levels.

Transportation in Emergency Cases

Our doctors (https://babyinbrazil.com/en/doctors.html), before agreeing to conduct home births, conduct some examination regarding home birth delivery to reduce the risks of emergency situations. And only when deciding that the physical and emotional condition of the mother and fetus is in good condition can they agree to conduct home births.

Because during home births, mothers and infants may experience an emergency situation where the brought equipment and instruments may not be sufficient, and additional outpatient assistance may be required for both the mother and child.

In this case, immediate transportation of the mother and child to the hospital may be required. For this case, we have provided special transport for quick delivery of the mother and infant. This is one of the main reasons why we select accommodation for the expectant mother near the hospital where she expressed a desire to give birth.

And transportation of the mother and infant in Brazil may be required in the following cases:

Problems with labor activity. These can be prolonged labor, i.e., labor has dragged on and is not progressing, medical assistance may be required. The reason for transportation may be weak contractions. Insufficient strength of contractions requiring additional intervention.

Health complications. For example, when there are severe bleeding before or after childbirth. Or problems with the baby's heartbeat—these are abnormal heartbeat monitoring data indicating the need for immediate intervention, which require possible intervention.

Pre-existing medical conditions such as maternal pathologies, for example, the presence of serious diseases (such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes) requiring hospital observation. Or anticipated complications, i.e., risk of conditions such as preeclampsia. (Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication that develops after the 20th week of pregnancy. It is characterized by high blood pressure, protein excretion in urine, and other problems.)

Need for urgent medical assistance, for example, if the mother requires epidural anesthesia, which cannot be provided at home. Or to perform a cesarean section if there is a need for urgent surgical intervention.

Special situations with the newborn requiring urgent neonatal assistance. If the newborn requires intensive medical care immediately after birth, for example, due to breathing problems.

Psychological aspects, for example, sometimes mothers experience panic or fear. If the mother experiences significant stress or panic, which may affect her condition and the course of labor.

Our team of doctors and other specialists develops a strategy in advance for such situations to ensure the safety and health of both mother and child.

Plan in Case Transportation to the Hospital is Needed

And how we organize the possible implementation of this plan.

Preparation for Safe Home Births in Brazil: Our Transportation Plan

In Brazil, we understand that home births are an important and intimate event. To ensure safety and protect the health of mother and baby, we create a detailed plan in case transportation to the hospital is needed.

Transportation Statistics for Home Births

According to Brazilian statistics, on average up to 10% of cases require transportation of mothers to the hospital during home births. This can happen for various reasons, including the need for additional medical assistance or assessment of the infant's condition. Although there's nothing scary when our doctors transport the mother to the hospital for complete safety, we strive to reduce this percentage to 3-5% through detailed examination at the preliminary stage.

At the same time, we strive to make this process maximally organized and safe.

How Do We Organize the Transportation Plan?

• Risk Assessment. At the first consultations, our specialists conduct an assessment of the mother's and baby's health condition, identifying potential risks that may require logistics in case of transportation.
• Team Preparation. Your birth team, including obstetricians and nurses, is ready for any situations. We discuss the process in advance and distribute roles so that everyone knows what to do at the right moment.
• Vehicle Selection. We determine in advance what vehicle will be used, whether it's an ambulance or another means, and ensure its availability.
• Route to the Hospital. We work out the optimal route to the hospital where you are registered, taking into account possible traffic jams and unforeseen circumstances. Your peace of mind and safety are our priority.
• Communication with the Hospital. We contact the medical institution in advance to report your condition and prepare the team for your arrival.

Additional Safety Measures

• Regular Checks. During childbirth, specialists will constantly monitor the health condition of mother and child to minimize risks and, if necessary, make decisions about transportation as needed.
• Medical Supplies. We always have necessary medical instruments and medications at hand for first aid to minimize risk until the moment of transportation and during it.

Safety First!

Your birth is your choice, and we strive to make them maximally comfortable and safe. With us, you can be confident that in case of need, every detail of the transportation plan will be implemented with the best care for you and your baby.
