[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need more educated midwives and doulas for families who want better options. Doctors can be helpful for high-risk pregnancies. Most of us are not high-risk.[/quote]

The problem is that labor can turn high-risk on a dime.  [b]That's why you have all the EVIDENCE-BASED backup there, at your hospital, with an MD available.[/b]  In the DC area there are PLENTY of places you can  have a hospital birth with a midwife, and have everything right there in case things go wrong.

Actually that's not necessarily evidence-based.[/quote]

What, hospitals in general?  Knock yourself out; have an unassisted childbirth or a homebirth, and enjoy your sharply increased risk of neonatal death & brain injury.  You know you'll be running to the ER once something goes wrong with your own body, the height of selfishness.

The rest of us will go to hospitals.

It's a nice sunny day, so no, I'm not up for another debate on the selfishness of people who, having weighed all the evidence, prefer the risks of a home birth to the risks of a hospital birth, or on whether your study showing these risks vs. benefits is better/more applicable/more reputable than my study showing those risks vs. benefits.
