Abstract
Birth is one of the major experiences in life, not only for the woman, but also for other persons who participate in it. For the child it is the most important life experience, and its course to a great extent determines the child’s health and functioning in further life. A sudden and total change of environment and habitat may become a trauma if certain conditions for a natural and gentle birth are not fulfilled - which may be the case with medicalized birth at an institution of a hospital. At present, many socio-cultural transformations give rise to the growing popularity of home birth. It is important to be aware of the factors which cause this change in mentality and practices, as they are the motivations for the decision to choose home birth. The choice of the home as a place for childbirth depends firstly on the lack of medical contraindications, as well as on a variety of psychological variables, and home is not a good place for every woman. It should, however, be an alternative to a hospital birth, as it have many advantages for the woman in labour, for the child’s father, and any other persons who accompany the woman, e.g. her older children and midwife. The article focuses on these advantages.
