the average number and cost, including travel expenses and accommodation, of admission days during prenatal, birth and one year postpartum care for those mothers attended by midwives versus those not attended by midwives;

the average number and cost, including travel expenses and accommodation outside home communities, of admission days during prenatal, birth and one year postpartum care for those mothers attended by midwives and who birth at home versus those not attended by midwives who birth in hospital?
