[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's post some articles on how many women and babies have died because they went to a hospital instead of staying home. I guarantee the number far exceeds the number mentioned in this article. Home births are always safer. Fact. Of course there are a few outliers for whom a hospital birth is necessary, but they're truly outliers. Most home births are safe and most are much safer than being in a germy money making hospital with dozens of hands in the pot, none knowing what the other is doing. Women, especially black women, die in hospitals every day. The United States has the WORST infant mortality rate of ANY developed nation, and we also have the highest rate of hospital births.

Also, it says she wasn't licensed IN THAT STATE, not that she had no training and wasn't licensed at all anywhere.[/quote]

I know it's an old thread, and probably everyone else jumped on this, but this is an absurd post. Any complicated case is going to end up in the hospital. It very well could be true that the raw numbers look better for home births, but that doesn't mean it's safer.[/quote] Actually, it does.[/quote]
