I have really liked some of the advice Dr. Phil has given on his show before, but this is not going to be one of those shows.

Just sent this to Dr. Phil:

I am surprised at the topic you have chosen for this show. Australian research has consistently confirmed that women who give birth at home are more satisfied with their experiences than women who give birth in hospital. I am surprised that you see a minority group here that is significant enough to devote an entire show too? Or perhaps homebirth is in some way different in the US, to Australia, UK, and the rest of Europe?

We have had two beautiful homebirths, have two happy and healthy children, and would be quite disappointed if there was some medical problem that necessecitated a hospital birth.
