[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why people who birth at home claim to understand the risks, but then sue as soon as they fall on the wrong side of the stats.

I'm all for people taking charge of their health and making informed decisions, but why sue when a known risk happens? Surely, she had to have understood there are significant risks in a twin home birth.

I've had natural births....in a hospital. It's not as bad as militant home birth advocates make it out to be. [/quote]

I agree. I did the whole Midwife thing/natural birth in the hospital. 12 or so hours into the ordeal I found myself in the same situation as this lady (or similar) with my baby getting stuck in the birth canal and head starting to swell. In a matter of minutes, the midwife had the on call ob of the group she belonged to come and check me. Within 30 minutes I was taken away for an emergency c-section. As litigious as this society is, I am surprised anyone would agree to deliver someone's baby at home. [/quote]
