I came across this article and thought FINALLY! Home birth, midwifery and doula advocates have been trying to tell people this and dispel the myth of home birth NOT being safe for YEARS! I'm so glad this article was published in USA Today. Just because it's Canadian doesn't mean we can't benefit from it!
