Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) - are infections spread from person to person during sex (vaginal, oral , or anal) or close sexual contact. STDs are also called sexually transmitted infections or STIs. The only way to completely avoid STDs is to not have sex or close sexual contact. STIs are caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites.

What is Planned Homebirth? Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) - are infections spread from person to person during sex (vaginal, oral , or anal) or close sexual contact. STDs are also called sexually transmitted infections or STIs. The only way to completely avoid STDs is to not have sex or close sexual contact. STIs are caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Planned Homebirth - the act of giving birth to a child in one’s own home. But, researcher suggests that planned home births are associated with a higher risk of an infant death, seizures and nervous system disorders than planned hospital births.
The Philippine has had a “no home birth” policy since 2018 . Aimed to reduce high maternal mortality rates. But with movement restrictions owing to the pandemic and the consequential lockdowns are home births unavoidable? The rate of infant mortality from home birth is 1-2 out of 1,000, which is at least twice as high as hospital births . Greater risk of neurological damage and seizures during birth.
What makes in controversy in Human Reproduction ? Among women who originally intend to give birth in a hospital or those who make no provisions for professional care during child birth, home births are associated with high rates of perinatal and neonatal mortality. The relative risk versus benefit of a planned home birth, however, remains the subject of debate. The available evidence suggests that planned home birth is safe for women who are at low risk of complications and are cared for by appropriately qualified and licensed midwives with access to timely transfer to hospital if required.
