Jemma admits she was worried about some negative reaction but she received nothing but support for her decision from those close to her
It's something many of us associate with seeing on TV or reading about with A-list celebrities, but home births are on the rise and one local health trust in Northern Ireland is leading the way.
She explained: "My first daughter was born in August 2020, so right in the middle of Covid. I had such a straightforward birth, I had no complications, and delivered her naturally, everything was perfect in that way, but the fact that it was during Covid made it so much harder. Jemma admits she was worried about some negative reaction from her family, as her mother-in-law is a retired midwife but said she received nothing but support for her decision from those close to her.
"The home birthing team were amazing, I had to get my blood taken for my iron levels and they even came and did that at home. I didn't have to go back to the hospital for those appointments, it was so good, not having to worry about car parking at the hospital and all that. "As soon as she came in, I explain it like, it was stepping out of the airplane on a hot holiday, I just felt this calm and warmness come over my body. She had been coming to my house every two weeks during my pregnancy and we had built up a real rapport. I just knew when she came in that everything was fine and she was going to look after me, it was such a sense of security."
