[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The strand of midwifery that fetishizes "natural" childbirth is unscientific, anti-feminist quackery.[/quote]

And I beg to differ. I think those theat medicalize childbirth, procedurize it, and make women feel like they are incompetent to handle it, are anti feminists.

Making women feel powerless in doing something that women have done for millennia, and continue to do, without intervention is the problem. Hey, you want interventions... that’s your choice, but you should not be forced into them, either. [/quote]

medical care is anti-feminist?  [/quote]

No, convincing women they cannot do it without medical care is anti feminist. Many women are terrified of the prospect of birth, and that does us a disservice.

But I can already see from the responses, it’s medicalized birth all the way with this group. [/quote]

You’re a horrible horrible person.  [/quote]

First, OP’s friend wanted pain relief. That’s her right (though I didn’t read page six to know if the reason she wasn’t able to get the epidural). Second, do you really think those millions and millions of women who had no choice but to get through would have really turned down meds? You think no one ever used anything through time? I’ve give birth three times at three different points along the unmediated continuum including an unmediated birth, and I still think you're a wretched person. Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it's raining. Pain relief is not anti feminist.

You thinking you know better than every other woman is pretty anti feminist.[/quote]
