at low
risk of complications has shown that continuity of midwifery care
is generally associated with lower intervention rates than standard maternity care.24 Variation in normal birth rates between services (62 % -80 %), however, seems to

home births)-- if you use the writer's same data source for hospital births but include all comers in 2007 - 2010 (not just low -
risk healthy white women), the infant death rate
is actually 6.14 per 1000, which
is «300 %
higher death rate than
at -
home births!»
