Hey ladies! Not sure if this one's been shared on here before, but it's a good one! :)

Outcomes of planned home birth with registered midwife versus planned hospital birth with midwife or physician
So interesting, and not at all surprising ;)
ETA: I found this especially interesting for those who spout of the old "all that matters is a healthy baby" and "Homebirth isn't as safe as a hospital" lines.
Perinatal mortality
The rate of perinatal death per 1000 births was very low and comparable in all 3 groups: it was 0.35 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.00–1.03) among the planned home births, 0.57 (95% CI 0.00–1.43) among the planned hospital births attended by a midwife and 0.64 (95% CI 0.00–1.56) among the planned hospital births attended by a physician. There were no deaths between 8 and 28 days of life.
Fixed it.
Interesting read thanks!
As if I needed another reason to have #3 at home ;)
