Not exact matches

The problem I see is that direct entry midwives in the United States will often attend home births that do not fit these criteria; while insisting that home birth is at least as safe as hospital birth, many will attend twin births, breech births, births after 41 weeks, births of women who have pre-existing or pregnancy - induced disease, births after two or more previous caesarean sections, and births of women whose labor has been jump - started rather than begun spontaneously (whether by herbs, prolonged nipple stimulation, the breaking of her water, or illicit use of medications).

This includes that the mother must have no significant pre-existing disease, no significant disease arising during pregnancy, a singleton pregnancy (no twins or higher order multiples), the baby must be head - down, labor must start between 37 and 41 weeks of pregnancy, the mother must have had no more than 1 previous caesarean section, and labor must begin spontaneously.
