I wanted to clarify I was not a Certified Nurse Midwife. I have a national distinction recognized in over half of the United States: Certified Professional Midwife. I am a retired Licensed Midwife. I also wanted to clarify that no home birth is guaranteed, as in the comment perhaps used by millennials: "no takabacksies once labor has started". A planned home birth is a goal, not a guarantee. During pregnancy, and once labor has started, midwives are watching for anything that is out of normal and will transport to a higher level of care. Some health insurance policies will pay for home birth. It is a RARE policy that will cover completely, so clients are advised that they will have some out of pocket expense.
