I think my point was more that when things are left 100% nature, things aren't perfect either.. but maybe a malnourished women isn't the best example of nature... gosh i don't know anymore.. i find myself having arguments with myself.. i think i'm going mad

But like i said about having two parallel cases occuring, you can't compare a healthy women in Australia vs. a malnourished African women and actually think thats going to give you an accurate comparision

But you can't really compare 2 women in Australia either, everybody has different bodies, babies etc etc

Thanks for posting about it.. i think it is very interesting, and i think discussio about this topic is the only way people perceptions will change

I've said it before to some people, i would love to have a midwife, and a water birth, and the only reason i go private is because i want the post natal stay and not get sent home the next day

Some people are more comfortable at home (my mum discharged herself after 3 hrs), and other want to recoup in hospital.. I'm like that, but don't want the shared room

I wonder if i can tell my obs to stay outside, unless i feel i need him??

But then again, i think all of us would take medical help if something serious did go wrong

I'm just for a balanced approach to everything... lots of things have its positive and negatives.. hopefully it doesn't have to be all or nothing!
