When women feel relaxed and comfortable, their bodies can open more smoothly and more effectively and for many women this can be in their own home.
Sadly, the local government funded homebirth program doesn't always accept all women, or meet the specific emotional needs, or geographical needs of all women - at least not fully and completely. Hence for a wide variety of reasons, a family may be seeking to hire a private midwife to birth at home (support a hospital journey too).
For those seeking a private midwife to hire, we are lucky and the region has quite a few private midwives available (though they can book up fast).
