Also there is something so very wrong with someone who thinks that kids would be asking for dinner or a partner asking about feeding the dogs, when a life changing, amazing event was happening in their family and their home. That might be a sad reflection of her relationships, or a poor attempt at humour.
So frustrating to portray something so beautiful in such a blah way.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! What a stupid article!! I commented it and it made the list. Here it is:
Regardless of whether it is safer to birth at home or in a hospital, shouldn’t us women have the choice?! It is, after all, our bodies and our babies. What sort of backwards country do we live in?
I gave birth to my daughter under private care in a private hospital as that was my ‘choice’. Why can’t those who want to birth at home have the same freedom of choice?
Babies sadly die in hospitals too. All women take a risk giving birth, regardless of where it occurs. To call homebirths ‘silly’, ‘fashionable’ and a ‘fad’ is downright stupid. Women all over the globe have been doing it for years and will continue to do it for many years to come. I only hope Australia will grow up and allow women to decide where we have our babies.
Stupid articles like that make me so damn angry!!!
I am very much over the blinkered responses all over the show that tout the same "There is doctors at a hospital" as though that is some earth shattering argument that no one before them has ever thought of and home birthing mothers are too stupid to realise. Sometimes that is in and of itself the very heart of the problem with a hospital birth. They feel like they have to do something! They cannot just stand back and let it all happen and ONLY step in when it becomes appropriate. They do things that are not required for the safety of the mother or child but can create complications because of their impatience.
It just irks me how they sit there on their computers spouting their morally superior nonsense when truth be told, the extent of their knowledge and experience is having read that one article in the daily telelgraph.
And don't even get me started on how on the other hand, DT runs stories about the soaring cesarean rate...
