Are you interested in having a home birth in Finland and looking for information about it? Most of my page is in Finnish, but I'm updating regularly more on this page.
I'm a home birth midwife working since 2014 and assisting around 30 home births per year in Southern Finland. I live in Lohja and can travel max 2 hours for births. I also provide private pregnancy check ups and birth preparation classes.
Home births are marginalized in Finland with approximately 100 planned birth at home per year in the whole country. All home birth midwives are private and families need to pay for their services themselves.
Here is a podcast with me and doula Danielle Bensky about home births in Finland. It might answer to some of your questions.
