Introduction to Birth Record Filing in Minnesota: https://www.health.state.mn.us/people/vitalrecords/birthreg/docs/bregmanual.pdf
MN Statute 144.215 BIRTH REGISTRATION Subdivision 1. When and where to file: A record of birth for each live birth which occurs in this state shall be filed with the state registrar within five days after the birth. Worksheets have been created for use as data gathering tools for homebirth midwives and birthing facilities. These worksheets are available electronically from the Minnesota Department of Health’s website for birth registrars, located at:
http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/chs/osr/birthreg/index.html.
As Anne Frye says:
“Midwifery is grounded in the perspective that most women, given physical and psychological support by a trained midwife and accompanied by loved ones, will give birth safely with few, if any, interventions. Midwives screen their patients carefully, watch for complications, and rely on obstetricians in cases requiring intervention. But they spend much of their time educating patients and tend to see their role as collaborative rather than authoritative. Midwives are guardians of the normal.”
