A growing desire among women to move away from interventions and hospitals to more "natural" childbirth has emerged over several years. The role and autonomy of midwives, a favourable opinion among women about home childbirth and better cooperation between hospitals and district health facilities are all fundamental in order to implement a home birth project. The opinion of women about "planned" home birth was investigated in the Puglia region through a survey conducted among a sample of women who had just delivered in hospital and a representative sample of the general female population. From 20 to 30% of women in the Puglia region would be basically in favour of home birth project. The main difference between the two groups of women concern the higher proportion of caesarean deliveries among mothers who had just delivered and their demand for more specific training of involved health personnel. Both samples are agreed on the specific training of women during pregnancy and on the presence of a specialist during home delivery. The results of the investigation seem to be in favour of planning a home birth project in the Puglia region.
