'It shouldn't be this way,' says Romulus woman who lost baby after midwife delivery

More Michigan couples are using midwives to have their babies at home. While it can be a good option for many, the risks can have deadly consequences. Home births are on the rise: 1,283 women in Michigan chose to have their babies at home in 2017 (the most recent statistics that were available). Many of those women used a midwife to deliver. The State of Michigan is about to require all midwives to be licensed, but many are asking if that’s enough to keep moms and babies safe.
