[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had 2 hospital births and 1 homebirth. The nicest birth was by far the homebirth. My midwife was a NP-midwife with EMT training who had been at over 1,000 births.

I managed to have vaginal births for all of them. I hired a doula for the second and third.

I think you can be educated and make good decisions and have both homebirth and hospital births lead to good experiences. That is my approach to health and medicine in general. I never understand why people have to malign one or the other. Quality, professionalism, education and experience count no matter where you end up.[/quote]

glad it was “nice.” would not have been so nice if there were an emergency. “niceness” is an idiotic metric for birth.

ps the people who claim homebirth is a solution for racial disparities are beyond stupid. black women deserve access to better medical care, not less care. homebirth is MUCH riskier. [/quote]
Show your stats, Doc. Please include some from Europe. Thanks![/quote]

are we in Europe? No, we are not. How about you address at a higher level why you think black women should forgo pain relief and access to life saving medical care for themselves and their kids. I’m aware there are crunchy black moms out there, but it is beyond gross for white homebirth advocates to use black women’e health disparities as a talking point. [/quote]
