Right now on CTV News they just did a piece about a study of homebirths, which found homebirths were "not only as safe, but often safer than the hospital." Woohoo! They cited lower epidural, episiotomy, and c-section rates. I didn't catch who did the study, but so cool to see it on the news!

Anyone else see this?
