How safe is home birth?
 
Recent research shows that:
 

99.57% of babies have normal outcomes

 

99.07% of home, 99.47% of Obstetric Units' first births and virtually 100% of second and subsequent births in all settings are normal.

 

88% of home but only 58% of Obstetric Unit births are without intervention.

 

93% of home and Midwife Led Unit births have no complicating factors but only 80% in an Obstetric Unit setting.
