Anyone know where I can find state laws regarding homebirth? I did an internet search and couldn't find anything. I tried searching this forum as well and didn't find that "golden link"
Unfortunately, you're likely going to have to just search state by state. Most, if not all, states have their laws on line (also go to www.findlaw.com and use their search engine). I've been doing some research in this area myself, and it appears that most states do not regulate home birth per se (although a significant minority do regulate direct-entry midwives, who are more likely than other birth practitioners to attend home births, and by implication also regulate home births (at least those attended by direct entry midwives)). Sorry I don't have that "golden link", and good luck!
