Giving birth alone

Sometimes labour can happen very quickly, and if you plan a home birth your midwife may not reach you in time, or if planning a birth in a birth centre or hospital you may not have time to get there before baby arrives. Don't Panic! Birth is a natural process, and if you are full term and your labour is rapid, it usually means things are going right rather than wrong. But it can still be a scary situation if you had planned to give birth with a midwife or medical support. I'll describe the basics of what you can do to stay calm and give birth safely whilst waiting for help to arrive
As a Midwife I do not endorse giving birth without a midwife or medical professional present. Qualified professionals at a birth can save lives.
This video is intended for use by people who are planning to give birth with a professional Midwife or in hospital but may be worried that the baby arrives before help does.
Please discuss your individual circumstances with your care provider.
