New research shows that deaths from conditions unrelated to COVID-19 have increased during the pandemic. Experts suggest that this may be because people are avoiding hospitals and not seeking help — and this trend has extended beyond illness, injury or disease to include pregnant women. Should expecting mothers choose home or hospital births during the pandemic? Dr. Alan Lindemann discusses the considerations and teaches women and their families how to obtain the desired outcomes for their own personal health and pregnancy. Dr. Lindemann has delivered at least 6,000 babies with a zero maternal mortality rate. He received the Rural Health Care Provider of the Year from the North Dakota Rural Health Association in 2012.
