I don't know whether I am in an overly optimistic mood at the moment, but from my perspective I like the blog because it is an example of the extreme OB view of natural birth and can be used as a tool to show women that "no, we are not kidding you when we say "they" are working to subvert womens' natural childbearing abilities". That said, it can only be seen in this light if you have already "seen the light" so to speak (ie: you don't or no longer buy into the OB-driven scaremongering around birth). If you were on the fence in any way or still were of the view that childbirth was more likely to kill you than lead to a healthy baby, the blog would be quite a compelling one.....
