[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like a previous poster, I do believe that you have the ultimate right to make this choice as it is your body involved in delivering the baby. I equally believe that it would be the wrong choice to move forward with this birthing center. And I believe that your husband could and should hold you accountable for your choice. Regardless of whether or not something actually goes wrong. Birth is simply not about you. It is about the baby. That you would risk your child’s well-being and life in this way is something that, as a spouse, would make me furious.  I am being more direct than some other posters, but I believe that a decision to do this in her situation is selfish, regardless of what your husband thinks. If the two of you agreed together to do this I would think that you were together being selfish as it is the baby who pays the price , even if this price is losing its mother while being born.  having a child is not about your experience and your comfort and your desires. And the sooner you become comfortable with us the better. And if you don’t, be well prepared for judgment and decision making by your spouse, family and child.  [/quote]

On the birth not being about mom, I disagree and believe it’s one of the reasons maternal mortality is the highest of the developed world here in the US. My sister and several friends would have died during delivery if they hadn’t been in a hospital. Their babies might have made it but they’d be dead. An hour is too far away. [/quote]

US maternal mortality rate is extremely high because we have the confluence of poor/minority/under insured/social problems population crashing into age 35+ first time moms/ART pregnancies +/- twins with a healthy serving of obesity to go around [/quote]
