Pregnancy occurs through fertilization of a mature egg, and continues with its implantation in the uterine endometrium. At the first examination with gynecologist and after pregnancy confirmation, the term of birth is determined. The pregnancy lasts 280 days, or 40 weeks or 10 lunar months (9 calendar months). The body of each pregnant woman undergoes various hormonal and physiological changes. The most important hormones in pregnancy are humanic chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and human placental lactogen (HPL), they help to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Childbirth is the process by which woman in labor is releasing five elements of fetus. It happens in four stages of birth, which are stage of early labor and active labor, second stage the birth of baby, third stage delivery of the placenta and last stage, stage of homeostasis (recovery). In the Republic of Croatia childbirth in hospital is the most common and considered the safest way of giving birth for a woman. The childbirth process is individual and is considered that woman should be able to choose the childbirth and place that suits her best. Legal regulations for home birth in Croatia are still very underdeveloped. There are no detailed procedures for giving birth at home, as well as no proper education and licesing of staff in independent delivery of a baby. The mere absence of laws are also making problems in professional, legal and sociological aspect. In hospitals, delivery is in most cases limited to a bed or stool. In home birth woman is in familiar enviroment, which gaves her option of choosing, for example water birth, which is not common in all hospitals in Republic of Croatia. During the writing of this paper, a research was conducted to gain insight into woman's awerness on the topic of childbirth at home. In research that was conducted online on the site of “Međimurkse mame i trudnice” a total of 140 respondents participated. The results show that mothers and pregnant women in Međimurje are familiar with childbirth at home and are mostly informed about it through the internet. When choosing the method of delivery, most respondents would choose hospital delivery because they consider it the safest way, while they would not choose home birth because of fear about the outcome of delivery.
