Home births a major risk- *DEBATE today on the herald sun website*

[Roryrory]

Didn't anyone tell Susie that the post-natal outcomes for women such as myself (ie: those who have had more than one child) are actually better after a HB than a hospital birth?

Or that in studies from Australia and overseas the death rates for HBs are the same or lower than those in hospitals?

Or that maybe, just maybe, her traumatic first birth was due to a cascade of intervention, rather than some amazingly unexpected happening?
