Jodie has done another wonderful job translating our stats in to a user friendly infographic.

November was a busy month with 28 of our caseload’s babies making their arrivals.

6 of our clients changed their place of birth prior to the start of their labour.

22 clients intended home as their baby’s place of birth at the start of labour and 82% (n=18) achieved their planned homebirth. Therefore our transfer rate in labour was 18 %(n=4).

72 % (n=13) of the homebirth’s took place in water with a further 5 clients using water during their labours only (use of water in labour 82%).

Mode of birth is presented for all clients cared for by the Surrey Hills team including those who’s place of birth changes prior to labour.

82 % (n=23) of the babies birthed in November were unassisted vaginal births.

3.5% (n=1) was born with Ventouse assistance.

3.5% (n=1) was born with the assistance of Forceps.

3.5 % (n=1) was born via an Elective Caesarean Birth.

7% (n=2) of the births took place via Emergency Caesarean. 1 baby (3.5%) was born via prior to the start of labour and the other (3.5%) during active labour.
