[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is the grossly misinformed CNM or CPM on here talking nonsense? News flash: Ina May was in a cult. Her husband thought he was a guru akin to Jesus or Buddha. They took tons of drugs. Her famed statistics, to my knowledge, have never been validated, they are all self reported. She holds no medical licenses and has no medical training. I wish I had known all that before reading her garbage birth book that said a contraction was a rush and birth could be orgasmic. Maybe if I was tripping on LSD. Not sure why we laud this woman as our nation's leading midwife and give her MacArthur Genuis grants but it's time to call bullshit.

And for all the comments about maternal mortality and C section rate, the reality is that we should not be practicing medicine to try and hit a target c section rate. There is no such thing. Do you really want your doctor not giving you a section because it is going to screw up the rates? Because that is what these stupid new ACOG Guidelines have done. [b]Midwives have screwed up obstetrics so badly that now we are in a situation where the nationwide effort to prevent C sections by changing longstanding guidelines, taking a hands off approach to labor, and increasing pushing time is causing harm to women and babies in the form of increased maternal and infant morbidity[/b].[/quote]
