    Episode 1: Homebirth 101 - Why ditch the delivery room?

    Send us Fan Mail For as long as women have been giving birth (so forever...), the chosen birth place for some has been in the comfort of their proximity of a doctor, an operating theatre and even an neonnatal intensive care unit.  Why is there such a widespread negative public opinion of homebirth? Why would choose this option if you could be hospital...just in case? Are these our only options and is there a happy medium between the two?  Shavi and Stef answer these questions and so many more in our first ever episode of Both Sides of the Bump!.
