    Abstract Introduction: Public interest in home birth in the United States increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Midwives attend the vast majority of home births and are experts in providing home birth care. However, limited data are available about the experiences of midwives attending home births during the pandemic in the United States.
    Methods: We developed a cross-sectional survey comprising 34 questions, which included 5 open-ended questions. The survey was distributed online in June 2021 to midwives attending home birth in Massachusetts. We calculated descriptive statistics for the quantitative survey responses and identified qualitative free-text responses illustrating the results.
    Results: Eighteen midwives and 2 midwife apprentices responded to the survey, approximately 50% of Massachusetts' total number of midwives known to attend homebirths. The majority of the 20 respondents reported an increase in public interest in home birth (n = 17) and higher caseloads (n = 14) since the start of the pandemic. Respondents reported an increase in the number of clients transferring to their practices at a later gestational age (n = 13) and who identified as people of color (n = 8). They described both better and worse transfer of care to hospital experiences. Work-life balance and unpredictable income were the top 2 reported obstacles to home birth practice.
    Discussion: The results of our study indicate that midwives providing home birth care in Massachusetts witnessed a surge in demand for their services during the pandemic. Implementing policies and practices that provide support for certified professional midwives could strengthen the home birth workforce, enhance access to home birth options, and optimize transfers to hospital settings when necessary.

    Abstract Objective: To understand the challenges faced by urban midwives in assisting planned home births during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Methods: Qualitative study, based on the Collective Subject Discourse methodological framework, carried out with eight professionals, members of a birth care collective from the northeast region of Brazil. Data was collected between September and October of 2020 using the focus group technique.
    Results: The collective discourses revealed five central ideas: Changing assistance strategy; Dealing with frustration; Facing the fear of contamination; Avoiding exposure to the virus; and Keeping distance during the care process.
    Final considerations: The challenging condition the pandemic brings to the care of planned home births is made evident, being marked by the need for collective protection and the pressure of following health recommendations. The study also points out the need for official protocols and good quality information based on scientific evidence and humanizing principles to guide health care.
