[quote=Anonymous]There was one of these women on the expectant moms board I was on when my first child was born. Her child died. I withheld my rage and expressed sympathy. Of course, we had the usual really out there home birth/no evil interventions types totally fawning over her and telling her it wasn't her fault (not like, hey, I'm trying a home birth with a midwife with a backup plan - these people were out there). Childbirth has historically been incredibly dangerous for women. The refusal to acknowledge that boggles my mind. When I had my second, it was a really high-risk, scary pregnancy - no warning signs or family history. Modern medicine saved my child and me. Even 50 years ago would have been touch and go - especially for the baby as she was born early. 100 years ago we would have both died, no question.[/quote]
