Creating a midwifery practice that offers planned home birth services necessitates wearing a variety of ‘hats’. You will need to be a midwife that is well versed in supporting physiological perinatal care. You will also need to be the creator and owner of a small business. In addition, it will be crucial to understand the regulatory and social environment for Community Birth in your area. If starting a midwifery practice with Planned Home Birth Services, or if you are thinking of adding Planned Home Birth Services to you current practice, the following resources are essential: ACNM Home Birth Practice Manual, Birth in the Community Setting in NY State: NYSALM Guidelines for Best Practice.
