[quote=Anonymous]How about we end this thread.

If you are low risk and want a home birth do it. 
-make sure your midwife or birth attendant has pitocin and all the routine neonatal resuscitatation equipment
-make sure you know the signs when to go to the hospital 
-if your birth attendant tells you he or she recommends transfer to a higher level of care....translation “I am in over my head and you need help.” Don’t resist go. 
-inquire about your birth attendants social distancing so he or she does not transmit anything to you or your family.

If you are high or regular risk or whatever and want to birth in the hospital.  Come we are here for you.  We are sorry that you can’t have a your family and friends around you.  But we will be there to take care of you. We don’t want you to have a cesarean (no one wants that...it is not more convenient...it takes up more time, equipment, ppe, resources and it is better for you and your baby. 
At some point, you should try and trust that the CNMs, RNs and doctors want to do right by you. (This field
is now primarily women who have been there and stand with you).

Do what you feel you need to do...be safe...I will be in the hospital waiting if you need me...
