The birthing process has come to a full circle. In earlier times when women did not have a lot of access to medical facilities, deliveries were routinely performed at home; then came a time that hospital deliveries were the norm, and now in western societies there is an increasing trend to birth babies in the familiar comfort of one’s own home, with a minimum of medical intervention and supervision. The pros of a home birth are many:

A familiar and comforting environment: Hospital environment can be stressful, noisy and less relaxing when compared to one’s own home. When one is at home, not only is the setting more comforting for the mother, she feels more in control of a situation that is her home turf so to speak.

There are no hospital rules and regulations to be followed. She is able to move about and assume the sort of positions that she finds comfortable rather than follow the guidelines of the hospital.

The birthing process is more able to be determined by the mother herself. The mother is free to eat and drink what she requires which is not the case in a hospital where her movements are more circumscribed.

Greater Privacy: She has the added benefit of the privacy of her own home, and she is not subject to the checking and scrutiny of a number of medical professionals who traipse in and out of a typical hospital birthing environment.

In a home birth, the mother is familiar with the individuals that are helping her, such as the midwife, the doula etc, and she already has a level of trust and familiarity with those professionals which can be very comforting.

Less chance of a medical intervention: There are higher chances of a medical intervention resulting in a hospital, and the mother is less likely to undergo a Cesarean section when she opts for birth at home.

Also in a home birth setting, the rates of infection are seen to be the lowest of all; whereas in a hospital setting, there is a higher chance of getting an infection.

Birth plan and Pain relief of choice: When undergoing a home birth, a woman may choose to have a water birth or a silent birth, or decide to have a combination of one or more birthing processes, as she may wish.

She and her midwife may decide what kind of pain relief is suitable for the mother, without any artificial aids.

Firstly I am 19 and been in a relationship for sometime, I had unprotected sex a few times but he didnt ejaculate inside. I have always had irregular periods since the age of 11 but this time it feels different. I had a period that ended around the 7th of january then i didnt get my next one until 7 weeks later counting from the day it started. Just before i got the period i took a pregnancy test as i was very worried i had missed it, the first test wasn’t clear but the second was negative. I had sex a couple of days after this period which was half unprotected (started without a condom but put one on before he came) Since then I have had loss of appetite, cramps, feeling very bloated and very fatigued and stressed..but the strange thing is i just got my period 3 days ago which was only just 2 weeks after my last one. This is not normal for me, im usually a few days late but never this early! could it be spotting?? or just an early period?? i dont feel right, i have been to the doctor but they were not helpfull at all.
Has anyone had something along the same lines as this?
Please if anyone had good andvice it will be appreciated..i am one stressed out girl right now…

Braxton Hicks contractions are sporadic uterine contractions; also known as false labor or ‘practice’ contractions.

 These contractions of the uterus actually start to happen as early as 6 weeks gestation, however they may be quite undetectable by the mother until the second, or most typically the third trimester.

Not every pregnant women experience Braxton Hicks contractions. These kinds of contractions are unusually painless, irregular, sporadic and infrequent.

These are the contractions that are thought to prepare the uterus and the body for the actual imminent birth of the baby. Here, the muscles of the uterus tighten for a minute or two before relaxing and are thought to be helpful in effacing the cervix in preparation of the birth.

Things as simple as a full bladder or sometimes more serious situation such as dehydration can trigger these contractions. They can be helped by proper hydration and regular emptying of the bladder. These contractions can be helped by certain breathing exercises, and lying down in certain positions.

Strong Braxton Hicks contractions, particularly when they occur closer to the time of delivery can often are mistaken for real labor. However, these can be distinguished from real labor by the fact that they are painless and that they are less noticeable during exercise, unlike the onset of real labor.
