[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so fascinating to me that pregnancy and child birth are pretty much the only medical situations people so eagerly discount medical experts under the view of "my body, my choice." No one tries to tell a heart surgeon when to do a procedure. [/quote] That’s because pregnancy and childbirth is a natural condition, not an illness. And yes, many times medical interventions are needed, and we are lucky that they are available, but they are not always necessary. [/quote] Sure, if all deliveries could be guaranteed uncomplicated I’d agree with you. But it can very quickly involve actual illness. Hemorrhage is an illness. 4th degree tears are an illness. Baby aspirating meconium and getting sepsis is an illness. And on and on. Unfortunately no one can truly guarantee you won’t encounter an actual medical crisis that needs a doctor during delivery, so rational people go to the hospital just in case.[/quote]
