The Oklahoma State Department of Health has released a data brief on midwife-attended births in Oklahoma. The report highlights the location and demographic data on where midwife-attended births occur and a breakdown of use by demographic. The percentage of midwife-attended births since 2017 has increased to 6% in 2024.
The graphic reflects where midwife-attended births occur. This includes CNM/CM, other midwife, or if a midwife-related term was written for other attendant’s title, in any birthplace (e.g., hospital, birthing center, home birth).
The full report can be accessed on the OSDH website.
