[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s none of your business. If you want to make it your business, encourage them to have a licensed and regulated midwife.  Not a “birth worker” someone with a degree and deep connections to their local health care community. I had two excellent homebirths, one where I also was sent to be monitored during pregnancy by an MFM and an endocrinologist. Both who complimented and coordinated care with my midwife just fine. Midwives work in community and care not just for low risk, but the average risks associated with birth. Hopefully she lives in a state where homebirth midwives are legally able to carry anti-hemorrhage drugs. If not, that would give me pause. My midwives had to maintain emergency procedures protocols and neonatal resuscitation certification. The same certification and drills that your hospitals should be doing. Homebirth isn’t the issue here. Unattended care, distrust in systems is a much bigger issue. [/quote]

I'm glad you and your babies were born healthy and safe, but what you listed here is not nearly enough.[/quote]
