Home birth is an option for pregnant women in Massachusetts. Many women prefer to labor and birth in the comfort and privacy of their own home. Studies have shown this to be as safe as a hospital birth for low risk pregnant women. A home birth midwife will do all necessary prenatal care, will be with you for labor and birth, and continue with postpartum care. Your prenatals are scheduled to allow plenty of time for an exam and discussion. A midwife, experienced in natural birth, waterbirth & VBAC, will care for you during labor and the birth of your baby. As many postpartum visits as necessary will be arranged. Home birth is a wonderful option for the woman that wants a natural birth without interventions and is most comfortable in her own home.
Coverage includes the Greater Boston area, North of Boston, the Northshore, Eastern MA, Merrimack Valley and more.

Alternative Birth Care provides HypnoBirthing childbirth classes and Family & Friends CPR classes. Classes are held at Beverly Hospital.
