[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a huge diff between a qualified and non-qualified home birth provider. This woman had 50 births and seems to be pro no intervention including prenatal care AND took a breech birth at home. That's what's irresponsible, not the idea of home birth, period.[/quote]

Yup. This. Home with a qualified midwife, someone who has completed a program at SUNY or similiar is just as safe as with an OB ina hospital.  The US would be wise to push for training more qualified midwives and making use of them the way the rest of the world does.[/quote]

actually a big study just found that the type of attendant does not matter - home birth is riskier no matter what. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-homebirths-newborn-mortality-idUSKBN20N0R0[/quote]

Dr. Grunebaum is anti midwife. He has an agenda. He is not pro safe birth for women and children He is pro lining the pockets of OB's giving midwives a prominent role  they way they do in the rest of the world ( with better outcomes) would mean less money for him.[/quote]

he’s anti-midwife? his research shows that hospital-based midwives are safe.  But yeah, nice ad hominen attack. [/quote]
There is a universe of difference between the woman who is the topic of this thread and a “hospital-based midwife.”[/quote]

the point I am making is that all HOME birth is dangerous, whether attended by a CNM or a crazy fake midwife like this one. Birth in the hospital with a CNM is fine. [/quote]

All birth is dangerous. You don't want to have a home birth. Don't have one. Don't tell other women what they should do.[/quote]
