Home birth v hospital birth – which is safer? The debate continues.
Revised clinical guidance has been issued today from NICE on intrapartum care.
I may seem cynical when I say that I am sceptical about the reasoning and motivation behind this Guidance which purports to rely on research findings to support the view that giving birth in a free standing midwifery or home birth setting is better and at least as safe as it is in a hospital for low risk first time mothers.
