Birth is wonderfully unpredictable and at the same time very much the same. Babies come out. They were designed that way. Like a flower knows how to open, a mother knows how to birth.

In its simple and timeless way, homebirth allows the personality of each birth to unfold as it was designed to, in the midst of each family’s unique gathering of people and things they treasure most. Hospitals are designed to help you when you have a health problem, and they are perfect for that purpose. But why homogenize the uniqueness of the human birth and soul by taking the sacrament of birth there? Birth is such a common miracle, such an everyday thing, and yet so rare. Why would anyone want to give up this rite of passage, this act of creation, to being numbed and drugged and cut? Within the sacred setting of home and family, why not experience the transformation of birth where you can be in your full power?

According to traditional wisdom in rural France, a baby in the womb should be compared to fruit on the tree. Not all the fruit on the same tree is ripe at the same time...we must accept that some babies need a much longer time than others before they are ready to be born

It is not only that we want to bring about an easy labor, without risking injury to the mother or the child; we must go further. We must understand that childbirth is fundamentally a spiritual, as well as a physical, achievement. . . The birth of a child is the ultimate perfection of human love

“at first, we brought breech pregnancies to the hospital, but we found after a while that we could deliver them here just fine. Footling breeches, which are thought to be the most difficult, in our experience, they often just slid right out.”
