HOMEBIRTH
I have been a hospital midwife since 1999. I attended to a homebirth the first time at 2013 and since then I have been a homebirth midwife too. In Finland most of babies are born in hospitals and homebirth rate is very low. We have less than one hundred planned homebirths per year in the whole country. Costs of a homebirth are starting from 1950,00€, first time moms starting from 2250,00€.
