[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Home birth is safe. Please read the following. Some blogs, some essays, some articles, some reporting on the Dutch study and Cochrane reviews that we've already discussed in this thread. The last article, although from a "biased source" (midwifery today) is very well-sourced and has good suggestions for further reading. You may read it all and still feel in your gut that homebirth is less safe. And certainly, many will feel that while it may be safe, it's not for them. But I just wish that anyone with knee-jerk reactions about home birth, who think parents are taking these HUGE risks with their babies' lives for some sort of crunchy experience, would read these things with an open mind. You might learn something new or get a new perspective. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/250452.php http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/2013/06/16/study-home-births-may-be-safer-than-hospital-births/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22888411 http://www.midwiferytoday.com/articles/homebirthissues.asp[/quote] Homebirth is exponentially safe for those of us who feel dangerously unprotected and vulnerable to standard proceedures, regardless of our polite requests. [/quote] ...in a hospital. Thank you very much.[/quote]
