[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love Dr. Amy. I would never take any risks with my unborn child (proud recipient of 3 C-sections)  but believe other women should have the right to choose.  I don't think homebirthers are selfish and arrogant although I wonder about motivations when there are complicating factors like VBAC, gestational diabetes, etc.  [b]I figure that most people are comfortable with a higher degree of risk than I am.[/b][/quote]

Dr. Amy is vile and, to a disturbing degree, absolutely HATES homebirth and even low-intervention childbirth.  For that reason I see her as completely anti-choice and anti-woman.  I'm sorry to see that anyone can take her seriously and worse, feel "love" for that woman.

At any rate, your assumption about risk seems a bit misguided to me.  Statistically speaking, cesareans come at a higher risk to both mom and baby.  They certainly are not the lowest risk option, not by a long shot.  However, I do understand that some women will have an emotional reaction that a cesarean FEELS less risky to them, and I fully support their right to choose a c/s if that is what seems best to them.[/quote]
