My sister almost died from an infection she got during childbirth at a hospital.

Guess what...hospitals have a lot of germs...who knew.

Yeah, I'll agree that a first delivery should be done at a hospital.

Sad you think its weird.

You mean back when mothers and babies died frequently

cougfanblue

2/11/13 10:58pm

Nobody said reverse it. By all means, see a Doctor while you're pregnant

You absolutely did. This reads like the talking points from a sketchy "natural"

Sure didn't. Read it again, but this time in your own voice

What exactly are the benefits to it? Other than $$?

molodyets

2/11/13 8:42pm

There are no real benefits.

mudpupper

2/11/13 8:46pm

Wow, buddy you dont even have a clue

SPgoofyft

NONE. Unless you actually want people to think you're a nutjob.

Women's birthing and labor positioning.

Good grief....seriously?

That's some pretty freaky yewt. Who the yewt makes out after a birth? Freaks!

WDaddy

Agree that obviously an incompetent midwife is a huge mistake

frontrowcougar

2/11/13 8:54pm

Shhhh...don't tell anyone. People have been having babies for a long time....

Iman23

2/11/13 9:08pm

And women used to die a lot more giving birth than they do now

I will not diss midwives, but don't think doctors don't know how to "get" people

SPgoofyft

2/11/13 11:37pm

Define strong anesthesia

Littlerich

2/12/13 5:24am

You know im referring to an epidural, so why ask SA?

SPgoofyft

2/12/13 7:04am

I would not define epidurals as strong anesthesia

Littlerich

2/13/13 7:59am

Well you would never inject a newborn with it thats for sure

SPgoofyft

2/13/13 12:23pm

I stood by my wife while she had a baby without the benefit of an epidural.

Idiot

2/13/13 1:16pm

Well it will be hard to find peer reviewed clinical research

Home birthing is just flat out irresponsible. Try explaining that to God
