Babies by the dozen but medic says home birth too risky

[PumpkinZulu]

Quick, better stop the trial before it shows that homebirth is safe!

Totally! Geez, let's go to ANY Melbourne...or even Australian hosptials birth ward...in fact, take me to the statistically SAFEST birth ward in Aus, and I'm so sure it will "only be a matter of time before something goes wrong"! I feel very assured, for one, that going through the Sunshine program, I run no risk to myself by getting kit on frigging FIRE while I have my c-section.

Totally ludicrous arguement for discontinuing the program!!

Hmm this makes me angry, i wonder if they pull up the stats from sunshine hospital on the things that went wrong for their home birth trial and those for the same time born in hospital which would have the greater 'RISK / DAMAGE' associated.
Maybe these dr's need to go overseas, watch women giving birth in corn fields then keep working and see the 'risk' associated.
