A delivery should take place on the infant's premises. The mother's wishes and needs should also be taken into consideration, however, as long as they do not involve hazard to the child. The mother should have the right to take leave of absence at least four weeks before term and approximately one year after delivery. ABC-principles (Alternative Birth Care) during pregnancy and labour could be applied by making a hospital delivery more like a home delivery.
