It is also possible that the unique health care system found in the United States — and particularly the lack of integration across birth settings, combined
with elevated rates of obstetric intervention — contributes to intrapartum

with higher -
risk pregnancies still choose home birth because there are fewer options that support normal physiologic birth available in their local hospitals.

with lower education and evidence of prenatal drug use had a postneonatal

with none of these
risk factors had a postneonatal
mortality of about 2 per 1000 live births (similar to Norway); that is, children in this latter category almost never die despite evidence from PRAMS surveys that they are as likely to co-sleep
with their parents.
