Who has homebirths, anyway?
In the first three years of Local Care Midwifery, PLLC, a great variety of folks have joined our practice, received attentive midwifery care and yes, given birth in their own homes. (Over 93% of clients who started labor at home with LCM, birthed safely and sweetly, at home.) Who would do that? Well, a
great variety of folks would!
Listed below is sample of the variety of occupations that I have happily written on birth certificates since 2009. Unless stated otherwise, the home birthing mother's occupation is listed.
