A very interesting story. Or just read DurandAM: The Safety of Home Birth: The Farm Study. Am. Jour. Public Health 1992, vol. 82 no. 3 pp 450-453. There is also a statistics link on the home page of her Birth Gazette website. The statistics link from the Birth Center page that Robert referenced above doesn't seem to work for me, but you can get to the home page from there and then to the statistics page. Ina May is a very skillful and careful practitioner who has excellent statistics, and one of the lowest c-section rates in the world (1.4%), with excellent outcomes. She does it all without pitocin, cytotec, prepidil, forceps, and vacuum extractors. Her book, Spiritual Midwifery has sold over half a million copies worldwide (probably would have been one more, but I bought my copy at a garage sale) and is in its third edition, and she just sent another book off to the publisher. If you want more information on how she achieves these statistics, pick up Spiritual Midwifery and read it.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
