If God didn't want women to use an epidural, why did he create epidural space?

You can remove "in the church" from your rant and it works just fine.

One of my kids and my wife are alive today because she was in a hospital.

If something goes wrong, no amount of money you save could compensate your loss.

Wow, my last was over $5k with insurance. No complications.
PharmD

Cheaper if you don't have insurance. They'll jack it up as much as they can

I recommend starting the epidural in month 5

This is the exact reason I think it's sheer stupidity. ULTIMATE price if wrong.

My wife uses a midwife. We give birth at the hospital.

This seems like the most common sense approach.

I wouldn't let my wife deliver outside of a hospital. I just think that's too

I'd say so. If you had nothing to do with the planning, preparation, or delivery

There's a big difference between a Nurse midwife and a weekend class midwife

This. My wife has had a midwife deliver both of our daughters.

I agree about the epidurals. My wife hated it. She had 1 kid with an epidural,

The first link is about cost not risk

It talks about both. But the point is, look at all of those sources
runnincoug

I only see where it talks about cost
concolor couguar

Fine. But that's a red herring. Look at all the other research.

True science at work.

You made a false claim. That's not a red herring.

A red herring is to get distracted by a minor detail. The minor detail
