Homebirth Unclaimed

The Birth Centre, Durban, South Africa promotes natural homebirths under the oversight of qualified midwives

In 2010, we were both working as doulas. As doulas, part of our responsibility is to give mothers information and resources on their birthing choices and option. As home birthers ourselves, it was very frustrating not to be able provide any local information or resources on home birth. And so, it was on the phone one day, when we were yet again complaining to each other about the state of birth in this lovely country of ours, that we suddenly had the idea to start the home birth gatherings.
