Yeah, saw that. Kinda dumb to write this now in that there hasn't been a new study since 2012 but hey - whatever the Atlantic wants to run. Slow news day I guess.

I'll say this:

Never thought I would be part of the statistic of out-of-hospital births:

Now that I am though, if we have more children, they will be home births, for sure. -Just "planned" births.

You might even be able to look it up. Not sure about North Carolina, but Washington will allow you to pull down all the vital statistics data for any given year as an .xlsx, and they break birth down about nine different ways.

California? Yeah, california don't report shit.
