Is there a reason why most CNMs don't do homebirths?

[klone]

Is it liability/insurance, or something different?

I've made the decision to go back to school to get my CNM. As a former homebirther myself, the idea of attending homebirths appeals to me, but it seems very rare that CNMs attend homebirths - they seem to usually be CPMs or DEMs.

Just wondering if someone could shed some light into it for me.

Thanks in advance,

Kerry

Is that Amish country?

Yes... lots of Amish in that area. There are several thriving CNM practices in that part of the state that serve the Amish and non-Amish populations.
