Homebirth Safety

In June 2005, the British Medical Journal published a study on the outcomes of planned homebirths in North America with Certified Professional Midwives. Researchers found that planned homebirth for low-risk women using CPM’s were associated with lower rates of medical intervention, but similar intrapartum and neonatal mortality to that of low-risk hospital births in the US. The study also showed decreased use of interventions including a less than 4% cesarean rate, compared with the national average of nearly 30%.
