Homebirth Midwifery: What the Statistics Say and What It Means for You
When considering a homebirth, many people wonder if they qualify and whether it is safe. The good news is that most people do qualify. Approximately 70% of all pregnancies are healthy and low-risk, meaning they can be safely attended outside of a hospital setting with the right care and preparation.
Why Does This Matter?
Many expectant families are not aware that homebirth midwifery is a viable and safe option for them. With a qualified midwife, such as those serving Southwest Michigan—including Mary Teske at Mother Mary Midwifery Services—healthy pregnancies can benefit from personalized, holistic care in the comfort of home.
The Role of a Midwife in a Healthy Pregnancy
A skilled homebirth midwife monitors your health throughout pregnancy, supports natural labor and delivery, and provides postpartum care, ensuring both mother and baby thrive. Studies and maternal health guidelines recognize that for low-risk pregnancies, midwife-attended homebirths have excellent outcomes when proper protocols are followed.
What This Means for You
If you are healthy and experiencing a typical pregnancy, you most likely qualify for homebirth midwifery care. This option offers:
Personalized attention tailored to your needs
A familiar, calm environment that supports your birth experience
Continuous support before, during, and after birth
