The sad thing is that so many women out there considering a home birth will read this & hear the obvious emotion this woman feels & will take this article hugely into account if they don't do their own research & do it properly.
Clover one thing I think HBing has going for it is that while women who want to HB will probably get riled up emotionally and maybe scared by the "what ifs", I think that most who choose HB are actually very good at doing their own research. Sadly, though, I think the op piece will cement the fears of many others, though.
