The Business of Birth

We carried out a survey in May 2009 to see how the economic downturn was affecting birth professionals. The results showed women's birth choices are being affected by their financial situation. It is hardly news that when women are making birth choices their finances will factor into their decisions. What was surprising was that more women were choosing midwifery care and homebirths, options known to be lower cost than obstetric and hospital care. The downside is that birth professionals are finding it difficult to make a living and some are choosing to find alternative employment to make ends meet.
