Most insurance companies do not cover midwifery care or home birth, leaving families to pay thousands of dollars in healthcare costs out of pocket. Alabama has been named the most dangerous state in the nation to be pregnant or give birth, with 65 maternal deaths per 100,000 births—nearly twice the national rate. For Black Alabamians, that number rises to 100 deaths per 100,000 births, and 34% of Alabama counties are maternal healthcare deserts.

For healthy, low-risk pregnancies, midwife-led care is associated with fewer unnecessary interventions and positive outcomes for mothers and babies.
