The percentage of women giving birth at home varies widely depending on factors such as cultural norms, access to healthcare, and availability of skilled birth attendants. In many industrialized countries, home births are relatively uncommon, with the majority of women choosing to give birth in hospitals or birth centers where medical care and interventions are readily available.
However, home birth rates may be higher in some regions or communities where there is a strong preference for natural childbirth and where home birth attendants, such as midwives or doulas, are accessible and well-regulated.
