I do think one should consider though...that no amount of education can still make up for the lack of proximity to emergency services when something unexpected happens in birth. Aside from poorly trained midwives, and lack of EFM, thats my biggest problem with homebirth...There often just isn't enough time to get to the hospital. I know my daughter would have died with the totally unexpected cord prolapse, that I had...had we not been right in the hospital. Even then they were literally counting the minutes, seconds, until they had her out. We spent three weeks wondering if she would then be brain damaged (she isn't). I wish more women would choose to have their natural birth in a birthing centre attached to the hospital (as long as it has EFM) rather than at home. Poor training and extremist behaviour are not the only things that can go wrong. Sometimes mother nature is just not on your side, and you need to be in a hospital when that occurs.Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294794766428738036.post-21916331155898466452011-09-20T16:29:15.389-07:002011-09-20T16:29:15.389-07:00Great post.
