In recent years, several reliable scientific studies have been published showing that healthy pregnant women with an uncomplicated pregnancy can give birth at home without compromising safety.

Home birth with a midwife – safety and fewer interventions
A home birth can be a calm and safe experience when a midwife is present throughout the birth process. It is crucial that the midwife has good and ongoing cooperation with the nearest maternity ward, so that transfer to the hospital can be done quickly and safely, if necessary during the birth. This ensures that both mother and child are in safe hands from start to finish.

Fewer interventions and complications during home birth
Research shows that births planned as home births often proceed more naturally and with fewer medical interventions. Women who plan to give birth at home experience 20–60% fewer interventions such as cesarean sections, epidurals, vaginal stimulation, and episiotomy. They also experience 10–30% fewer complications, including bleeding and severe lacerations, compared to women who give birth in a hospital.

Home births can also support a better start to breastfeeding. Several studies show that mothers who give birth at home often have an easier time establishing and maintaining breastfeeding after birth.

Midwives' experience and recommendations
A study by the Danish Midwives' Association shows that midwives are increasingly recommending home births for healthy, low-risk pregnant women. Both scientific research and midwifery experience support that professional home birth can be both safe, natural and secure. When a midwife is present and there is access to a maternity ward when needed, you combine the best of two worlds: natural birth in a home setting and professional assistance if the situation changes along the way. This provides a more calm and personal birth experience that many women prefer, while significantly reducing the risk of unnecessary interventions.
