The Midwifery Difference
A 1998 study of 800,000 low-risk pregnant women by the Centers for Disease Control compared the outcomes of those cared for by midwives versus those receiving traditional obstetrical care. The results are astounding!
The infant mortality rate was 19% lower, the neonatal mortality rate was 33% lower, and the rate of low birth-weight was 31% lower for patients under the care of a midwife versus an obstetrician.
Researchers attributed the differences in outcome to more one-on-one time spent with patients and fewer interventions in prenatal care, labor, and birth.
In addition, the cesarean section rate for mothers birthing with midwives averages 10%. That's half the national average!
