[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll just leave this here. So many of you are so ignorantly brainwashed into thinking you need constant fetal monitoring or a waterfall of interventions. It's really sad and completely indicative of why the US has abysmal maternal fetal mortality rates and maternal and PP care in general.

Yes, please tell my baby's umbilical cord that it shouldn't have knotted up during labor, resulting in an emergency c section as the heart rate flatlined. Thanks to continuous fetal heart rate monitoring, it as caught immediately.

Most deaths as caused by cardiovascular issues like pre eclampsia, and c section would have saved both mom and baby.

Black women often aren't taken seriously and given needed interventions resulting in worse outcomes. They need more help not less.

Wherever they have tried to reduce c section rates, still births and maternal deaths increased.[/quote]

Oh PP, this is too logical. The midwife defender has Alternative facts produced by midwives that show that Midwife-led care is what we need to reduce maternal mortality and increase quality of care. She just knows how awful C sections are because it deviates from “normal physiologic birth” and midwives tell her that vaginal births are better (and of course let’s not forget that midwives aren’t the ones doing hysterectomies and prolapse surgeries and treating women for anal and urinary incontinence weeks, months, and years down the line so the downstream impact of vaginal birth isn’t something they really see). You’re being too logical for her. [/quote]
