B
Feedback:
Home births have many advantages, such as having more control over the birth, being the least expensive option, creating a good relationship with a midwife, minimizing interferences, and having more flexibility in the comfort of your home. However, the limited availability of pain medication and danger to the mother and baby if an emergency arises are two of the main disadvantages. Thus, it is not considered the safest method for delivery
