[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]American childbirth is nothing to be proud of. Our obstetricians have not been trained in the age old art of waiting. Allowing nature to take its course is something they are "too busy" to do. They're too "overqualified" to sit down and do nothing. That's one reason why they hate the idea of homebirth.  [/quote]

Totally! That and their arbitrary preference for live babies.[/quote]
Your fear-mongering is unnecessary. We're not in the dark ages any more. Childbirth is not an illness.[/quote]

Childbirth is not life-threatening because of modern medicine. It didn't just become less dangerous on its own. And it does become an illness for many women. [/quote]
I hate to break it to you, but IF I had been in a hospital for our baby's birth, it WOULD have been an emergency surgical birth. Her presentation wasn't the easiest, but I had two incredibly educated and experienced midwives who knew exactly what to do. The only part that hurt, was the restiching. Ouch. Medication was unnecessary.

Our homebirth was the best decision I ever made. I had previously been at hospital births with a few friends, and I preferred to avoid it if it wasn't necessary. In the hospital, you must conform to all of their rules and restrictions. [/quote]

I'm glad you got away with it. You played the odds and won. Congratulations! I am sincerely glad.

Not everyone is willing to spin that wheel.[/quote]
If I had opted for a hospital birth experience, there would certainly been a Cesarean or forceps. Thank God for my expert midwives who spared me from unnecessary surgery.[/quote]
