And if you look at the brief discussion of the "birth centers," the author mentioned a 50% transfer rate, which makes me suspect these were in-hospital "birth centers" rather than freestanding ones. All the data on FSBC that I've seen shows a much, much lower transfer rate. <BR/><BR/>Tophat--yes, she was my roommate when I lived in Jerusalem! And a very good friend and either due any day or with a newborn.

I'm not impressed by the authors' choice to use birth center data as a proxy for homebirth. It seems to me that a birth center presents some of the disadvantages of a hospital (i.e., having to get in the car and drive to a place that's not your home while you're in active labor; exposing your baby to other people's germs, etc.) without the corresponding advantages of a hospital (immediate proximity to high-tech intervention if warranted). It doesn't seem like rocket science: you can't evaluate homebirth if women aren't giving birth at home.<BR/><BR/>End of rant. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-22931165300512849452009-02-18T20:04:00.000-05:002009-02-18T20:04:00.000-05:00Rebekka,Fantastic article (and really in line with...Rebekka,<BR/>Fantastic article (and really in line with my personal approach to birth).
