Meta Analysis Home Birth Study Flawed!

Found this write up about homebirth and it discusses how the meta analysis study which emphasized that homebirth babies were 3 times more likely to die was seriously flawed. The study included unplanned homebirths with no care providers present and it failed to incorporate large studies which showed homebirths to be safe in the data.... Nice....

Thank you for this. I was totally convinced that a home birth was for me but have to admit I had a little wobble when all this hit the press xxx
