Is Homebirth Safe?

One of the British Medical Journal's top articles for 2005 (I believe #3) was

Outcomes of planned home births with certified professional midwives: large prospective study in North America (BMJ 2005;330:1416 (18 June), doi:10.1136/bmj.330.7505.1416
)


In some of the previous homebirth studies, states have included unplanned homebirths (drug addict at home or WHATEVER). This study focused on PLANNED homebirth. If you click on the link you can get the PDF and also read responses. Check it out.
