    I would prefer to be in the hospital system. After 2 inductions for high BP, three retained placentas and one very significant haemorrage, I am safer in that environment. Although my last birth didn't have a doctor present, I was solely in the care of the midwife (and no retained placenta ).

    However I am a capable woman and I am able to stand up for my rights and desires to the doctors. I don't get bullied .


    I wonder if 10% is reflective of the BellyBelly membership?
    Of course it isn't LOL. It would never be reflective of a gentle birthing community whose ideals are skewed the other way.
