Home births on the rise since the COVID-19 pandemic

View descriptionShare

We've talked a lot about how the pandemic has changed how we do things. Now we're finding out what's changed when it comes to having a baby. New data from the CDC finds more women are giving birth at home than before the pandemic. 


The overall number of births at home is still small at less than two percent but there was a 22 percent increase from 2019 to 2020 and a 12 percent jump from 2020 to 2021. Jennifer Vanderlaan is a professor at the UNLV School of Nursing. She's also a trained midwife and has previously provided continuing education for midwives in sub-Saharan Africa and Central America.
