Ehhh. Sorry hun but I do take issue with that statement. Birth is not inherently risky. There are risks ofcorse, but so there are with flying, driving your car, using a mobile phone. I wouldn't describe birth as risky in the majority.
Also (and it's been a long time since I've checked this, so I may be off a bit) the WHO deem that the medically necessary Caesarian rate in a developed country should be no more than 2-5%. Here in Aus it's in the 40ish% I believe. I do think it's important to be informed of this risks of any procedure or situation...including the risks for homebirth, a natural birth etc etc.
