I know. It's quite sad. I like how she's used the word 'guilt' there. It's not the hospital system and knObs and medwives that are creating trauma and guilt in women, IT'S HOMEBIRTHIN, BREASTFEEDING HIPPIES AND THEIR DANGEROUS AND SMUG IDEAS ABOUT BIRTH that is the cause.
Well yeah, if we'd all just accept that the best way is to lie back, take whatever drugs are offered and have ac-section as soon as we can, we'd all be al lot better off! And don't go getting any silly ideas in your head that birth can actually be a wonderful, empowering, loving experience, because then you'll just feel guilty when you realise that totally unrealistic and dangerous.



I accidentally stumbled across her a little while ago and was shocked by what I read. Like if you've had a traumatic first birth in a hospital, then that's obviously going to be the best place for any others, because thank god you were at hospital to fix everything that went wrong! No mention that being there may have actually caused it.
