MANY women would never normally consider a home birth – but they may change their mind after reading about Eve Franklin-Thomson’s positive experiences.

She used to live in Warwickshire where she was told a home birth was impossible – but found a far more positive reaction when she moved to Huddersfield.

Many mums-to-be often only think there are only two options – the Birth Centre at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary or the maternity unit at Calderdale Royal Hospital.

But there is a third way and one that is extra special – in your own home. Women say they feel far more relaxed and in control in their own environment.

And it indicates that the midwifery care in Huddersfield shows great care and flexibility with the mum’s wishes where they should be ... at the top of the agenda.
