HOME BIRTHS IN COSTA RICA, and natural birth information is scarce but here is what I have collectted for you guys. Homebirths are fairly new in Costa Rica, that brings a lot of unknown things with it. Laws can change at any moment because they pretty much non existent. Few things that you have to count with anyways would be, extensive paperwork, probably travel, and you need patience.

There are many reasons why you might want to give birth in Costa Rica, maybe it’s cheaper than your home country or you are trying to get residency, or you are just simply pregnant and are curious about more natural options. In this video is everything that I was able to collect but I still always recommend to make your own research and confirm information that was given to you.
