DIY Deliveries: More Women Go It Alone (US)

[s361768]

Yes, but I believe my education and my attitude do guarantee me the birth that I want.

I am tertiary educated and that doesn't guarantee me of the birth I want!!! Am I missing something.



I am so vulnerable (Pain, emotions etc.) during birth. I don't want to be interferred with but it has happened to me and afterwards I felt like I had let them walk all over me and tell me what to do, I believe that the hospital staff are well aware of this and use this to their advantage.

Not sure what you mean by this?? Did you have a birth plan/partner to advocate for you?? Just confused as I had voiced my birth intentions to my partner/midwife/ob anyone really who would need to know.
