Birth centers aren t as safe as hospitals for childbirth, researchers say, challenging top gynecology organization s stance INSIDER 4/30/2021 © Crystal Cox/Business Insider Crystal Cox/Business Insider
A research presentation linked birth center deliveries with higher infant death and seizure rates.
The study challenges the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists position that birth centers are among the safest places to deliver.
Research comparing birthplace settings is flawed, and birth centers benefits are well-documented, experts say.
A subset of pregnant women have long sought out birth centers - low-tech, women-centered facilities typically staffed by midwives - for a childbirth experience that promises few medical interventions, a homey environment, and a model of care that views birth as a normal human experience, not an illness that needs to be treated.

“My book looks at three schools in Mexico trying different approaches to what midwifery should look like, whether it should work within the healthcare system or be autonomous,” Dixon said. “A lot of my book is about how they are grappling with the question of how to work with the Mexican state or how to come in and provide a positive force for change.”
Dixon initially worked with Mexican midwives while traveling to San Miguel de Allende on a grant from her undergraduate institution, the University of Chicago.
“I thought I’d be there interning for a couple of months, then come back and go to medical school,” Dixon said. “But I fell in love with Mexico and the midwives and midwifery in general. I wound up staying five years and immersing myself in that world.”
