How many births do Certified Nurse Midwives attend each year in NC?
In 2003, the NC State Center for Health Statistics reports there were 11,513 resident deliveries attended by CNMs in NC, representing 9.7% of all resident births. This does not include, however, women who developed complications requiring a physician to attend their birth, i.e. an assisted birth with vacuum or forceps, or a cesarean birth.
