You should know that homebirth is as safe as it gets. All the research, (and there is a wealth of it over the last 10 years) comparing outcomes of homebirth to hospital birth for low-risk women with professional midwives (like myself) all over the world proves that it is just as safe or safer to birth at home than hospital, for mother and baby. Also more satisfying for the mother, and less interventions, including unnecessary Cesarians, vacuums, forceps, episiotomies, and more. My statistics are also better than the average Israeli hospital statistics. Be assured that I don't take risks just for the "experience" and transfer when necessary. The same for the other homebirth midwives in Israel. You would be amazed if you would read a little about homebirth in the homebirth section in this website or even better, read my book all about homebirth in Israel. It is full of research abstracts proving the safety of homebirth. It would be a shame to put me behind bars as I am far from being a criminal, and have dedicated my life to the safety of birth for women and babies. For your information, the Ministry of Health is no longer against homebirth. Homebirth is a totally subsidized option in Holland, England, and Canada and other "progressive and modern" countries. Don't be a victim of ignorance--I challenge you to open your mind and investigate the issue!
