According to the June 25, 2012 issue of Time, midwives delivered 8% of all babies born in the U.S. in 2009 — an all-time high. In New Mexico, with the most midwife-attended births, the rate is 24%. Time's story is based on a study just published in The Journal of Midwifery and Women's Health (Vol 57(4) July/Aug 2012).
