Home Births

Connecticut permits licensed Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) and Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) to attend planned home births for low-risk pregnancies. These midwives provide prenatal visits, in-home labor support, delivery care, and postpartum follow-up. Families can find licensed providers through the Connecticut Midwives Association, which lists CNMs and CPMs across the state. Home birth is ideal for families desiring a familiar, personalized birthing environment with reduced interventions, and is fully legal under Connecticut law with midwife licensure in place since 2017.
