To help members source information about homebirths and the risks with hospital birth,
I would like this thread to be dedicated to posting informational articles including studies, statistics and other evidence based information.

Here is one to start it off

http://www.gentlebirth.org/ronnie/homejjg.html

Quote:
   * A study in Australia found a perinatal mortality rate of 5.9/1,000 out of 3400 planned home births (Kitzinger 41).
   * Joseph C. Pearce states in his landmark book Evolution’s End that homebirthed babies have a six to one better chance of survival than a hospital-birthed child (117).
   * A study in the Netherlands done in 1986 on women who were having their first babies showed these results: out of 41,861 women who delivered in the hospital, the perinatal mortality rate was 20.2/1,000. Of 15,031 women who delivered at home with a trained midwife, the rate was 1.5/1,000 (Kitzinger 44). I know, I thought it must be a typo too.
