Home Oriented Maternity Experience -- "H.O.M.E. Meetings"
"H.O.M.E. Meetings" are a tradition of home birth families dating back to April, 1974 when a group of five women conceived the idea of an educational organization for couples needing information and support for home birth.
Since then, H.O.M.E. grew into a cohesive organization of parents and birth attendants who support safe home birth from nearly every state in the U.S. and Isreal.
The H.O.M.E. series consists of five meetings which are offered free of charge and cover all aspects of home birth. Resources such as books, video showings, literature and professional assistance are provided.
Mothers, fathers, family members, friends and any interested persons are encouraged to participate in the full series because it is the parents' responsibility to prepare for a safe home birth.
The Home Oriented Maternity Experience is devoted to helping couples achieve the optimum experience of a safe home birth; bringing together those who have had home births, those who want home birth, professionals and childbirth educators. Meetings are free and run the third Saturday of each month from 1pm - 3pm at 1638 Deckner Avenue, in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Programs are presented by midwives Stacy Vandenput & Julie Mercier.
