“…Many studies have reported positive outcomes for home birth (1–26), including births attended by apprentice‐trained midwives 1 and certified nurse‐rnidwives in the United States and births attended by direct‐entry midwives in Canada and the Netherlands. However, there is an ongoing debate regarding whether it is safe for any provider to attend breech deliveries, twin deliveries, and post‐dates pregnancies at home.…”

The medical literature comparing home and hospital obstetric outcomes is reviewed. A home obstetric service with hospital and obstetrician back-up is described, including screening, care during pregnancy and delivety and management of complications. Of 495 women who were accepted for home delivery, 77 miscarried or moved, 49 changed to hospital delivery, 19 had premature labor, and 61 were transferred to the hospital during labor. Maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity are described. In this well-selected low risk population, careful prenatal and intrapartum care resulted in outcomes which are comparable to those of hospital programs. (Birth Family J 5:3, Fall 19 78)
