Article by Gail Hart: "The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology will soon publish a report that questions the safety of planned homebirths. This report may fuel an attack on all types of midwives, everywhere. The authors state that babies born at home have a mortality rate three times higher than babies born in hospital. Their conclusion is controversial because many large and rigorous studies have concluded that homebirth and hospital birth have essentially the same safety for mother and baby."
