| Résumé : | A pregnant woman is defined as low risk when she is in good general health and has an uncomplicated medical and obstetric history (Bolten et al 2016). It is debatable that planned home birth may present fewer risks to uncomplicated pregnant women when compared to planned hospital birth (Scarf et al 2018). In the United Kingdom (UK), a pregnant woman has the right to choose her home as the place of birth for her child. TheOffice for National Statistics (ONS) (2019)states that 2.1% of women in England and Wales gave birth at home in 2017; a total of 14,621 women.Midwives, who also believe in the innate capability of women to birth their babies, see childbirth as a normal physiological phenomenon. Midwives should be able to inform and support a woman’s decision to birth at home, endeavouring to conserve parturient and fetal health while providing safe, holistic, evidence-based care (Royal College of Midwives (RCM) 2008). The increased numbers of home births within the study area has highlighted the vital role of the midwife in the articulation of the advantages and disadvantages of available evidence surrounding this practice.An overview of what constitutes evidence-based care and research guided the search for relevant articles to be included in this paper. The review of home birth practices and guidelines will set the scene for the critical appraisal of four pieces of current research. Communication is examined in detail and is viewed as an essential aspect of midwifery care, especially when sharing information to facilitate women’s informed choice and consent while ensuring multidisciplinary teamwork. |
