Women Giving Birth at Home Without Midwives

Women taking back control of birth by having ‘freebirth’ babies at home without medical help

When Jennifer Margulis went into labor with her fourth child, she sent her husband off to take the kids to school, then waited at home for her body to do what she felt confident it had evolved over millions of years to do on its own.
