U.S. home births increased slightly in the pandemic’s second year, rising to the highest level in decades.
In this photo provided by Mark Godbolt Jr., his wife, Jade Godbolt, nurses her newborn child at their Dallas-area home in October 2022. She and her husband chose a home birth for their third child. Godbolt, 31, says there were no complications and she and her son are doing well."I believed that my body could do what it was made to do and I wanted to be in the comfort of my home to do that,'' she said.
Elizabeth Gregory, the report’s lead author, said reasons for the increases are unknown, but they occurred when COVID-19 rates were high and vaccinations were either unavailable or not widely used. Other reports have shown that many people avoided hospital and doctor visits early in the pandemic. Godbolt, a 31-year-old beauty and lifestyle online content creator, says there were no complications and she and her son are doing well.

Birth Control Is a Journey Everyone Should Have Access toBeing able to decide if, when and under what circumstances to get pregnant and have a child has allowed me to have a family on my timeline and a fulfilling career. Unfortunately, the ability to access contraception is largely dependent on an individual’s zip code, insurance status and income level. Even in the face of these challenges, I am hopeful that we can continue to move in the right direction with policies and practices that center the reproductive health and well-being of all people.
