Want to attend?

Come and celebrate the fall equinox with growing babies and bellies at the September Homebirth Meetup in the Philly Region! We had a great August meetup with many people in attendance. Our small group is slowly picking up steam and I hope everyone can attend meet-ups! Come and watch some great birth videos and discuss your local birth options; hear great birth stories and weed out all that false homebirth propaganda! Read more

      We've been sold on homebirth since before DH and I were married. But I had preeclampsia w/Edwin and ended up C/s, and my planned HBAC with Zachary ended up C/s after over 48 hrs of laboring naturally at home. We're likely moving to Philly.

      Mama to four hospital-born babies. My last was supposed to be a homebirth VBAC that ended up being a hospital transfer at 42+ wks and another c/sec. :( I would love to meet other like-minded parents in the Philly area (we live in King of Prussia).

      Hello everyone! While I have had my babies in hospital, I am very supportive (jealous, even) of those who choose to birth at home!! In the next few months, I should be completing my certificate to be a Bradley Method natural childbirth instructor =)

      Hi! I am mom to 4 homebirthed babes, all in their 20s now. Four picture perfect births, one a caul birth, all healthy, happy and beautiful. I am a chiropractor specializing in pregnancy and pediatrics. I love supporting those seeking a natural birth.
