With your help, we can make homebirth an accessible option

to more birthing families across Massachusetts. 

Homebirth offers birthing parents compassionate prenatal care, a safe and respectful birth environment, and postpartum support that the current medical system often fails to provide. 

Despite the desire to birth at home, many families opt for hospital or birth center births because of cost. Homebirth for All exists to help more birthing parents in Massachusetts afford home birth.

Long before our founder Stephanie Connor and her husband Nick got pregnant, Stephanie had been interested in the idea of homebirth. When expecting their son, they reached out to a homebirth midwife. While enthusiastic about the support, they were shocked by the price. The couple discovered that in Massachusetts, most insurances don't cover homebirth. Nick and Stephanie were fortunate to be able to invest in safe, supported, respectful care throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Their birth experience was transformational and 100% worth it.

Stephanie wanted any birthing parent who desired a homebirth to have this level of care. She created Homebirth for All to give more people a choice in where they birth.

Homebirth isn't right for everyone, but it can be an empowering option that leads to a peaceful, joyful, and rewarding experience for most low-risk pregnancies.

Some reasons families choose to birth at home include:

• A trusting relationship with their midwife

• Less pressure, more choices

• The comfort of familiar surroundings

• The desire to avoid unnecessary medical interventions

• Continuity of care and knowing who will attend their birth

• Cultural or religious considerations

• Dissatisfaction with previous hospital experiences

• Postpartum care for their body, heart, and mind

If you believe parents deserve to birth at home without the cost being a barrier, we hope you will consider supporting our mission.
