I suppose all of those births went without a hitch? Any other stats for them?
Susana
Those are the homebirths listed on the birth certificates in 2007.
68 were white and 40 were nonwhite.
68 White Homebirths- 1 was delivered by physician, 2 by CNM, 34 by granny midwife, 31 by other named person
40 Non white Homebirths - 4 by physician and 36 by other named person
There were 18 births labeled as Other place but those babies were delivered by physician, granny midwife and other named person
I do know that 99% of the world is born at home currently, how did the USA regress so much in the last 60 years? $$$ You think the economy would be doing well with all that money that birth costs :)
