I am a public girl through and through, The public system is not without its problems but neither is the private.
I have met angels in my two births who absolutely respected and were in awe of me, my body and what was happening.
I also met some wonderful people in the public system a couple of weeks ago when my appendix perforated.
Midwives can be great support but some are full on supporters of the medical model
Likewise some doctors (I like to include myself here) fully respect the sacredness of birth. GP shared care offers the best of both worlds sometimes if you have a doctor you trust and a great team of midwives, birth centres can be amazing, homebirth programs are great continuity but I happened to get a midwife who didn't have confidence in my my body (I did) and ended up in the back of an ambulance at 9cm for 40mins and at the mercy of many of my collegues trying to intervene on my perfectly normal wornderful birth, yelling at me, telling me I wasn't pushing properly and pressing on my belly.

There are so many sad stories and I would not ever wish to minimise people's suffering but there is no one answer, no magic bullet
We can only try and find support and a care environment where we feel safe, this will of course be different for different people.
I think the number of replies to a thread has a direct correlation to the complexity of the issue
BB is a great base of support to work through issues, disappointment and celebrate the joys.
But I don't think there are any magic answers here... or anywhere
