[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And i know someone who got into a car one time and they died! And one time somebody got the flu and they died!  And and and...

One hospital tour and i said no.  They  described  belts or something strapped on to women.  People you don't even know in the room.  No peaceful  place to walk around  while laboring. Noooo thanks.

Another mom here with 2 births at home. No scare tactics.  "Your baby  will die if you don't deliver with us at the hospital!"  But we now live in the Mountain West and far from DC (where we lived for 7 years), where people are far less judgemental. [/quote]

The only thing strapped to a woman is a fetal heart rate monitor. Something your homebirth midwife doesn’t have. It makes sure the baby’s heart is still beating. All hospitals in this area allow women to move in labor unless they decide on an epidural. Most l and d rooms are larger than many studio apartments. They have trained medical professionals, not some hippie with a High school degree and a CPM credential. You do you, PP, but you’re promoting misinformation. It’s not the 50s. [/quote]
