that article just caused enough heat to rise out of my body to warm up the house.

how DARE she say HB should be illegal! where the heck was this womens head at? i'm sad that she can publish such codswollop and get away with it. she stuffed a traumatic birth, which i am truely sorry for. but why did she not explain WHY she birthed her baby at 37 weeks, maybe talk about he could have been in the wrong position? ohh thats right, she wouldn't. its not fair that people like this can say HB is darngerus. and useing the example from SA isn't really applicable - as she's talking or VICTORIAN readers I would love a home birth - but DH isn't keen on it due to the complications we had with our DS post-birth. maybe she feels disimpowered by her first birth - but there is no need to disimpower other women who choose to birth differantly to her. yes its her POV, but its views like this that make me want to melly bash the holders of the view and open their eyes to birth - how it works - while some births yes - they do need intervention and assistance most don't. what would she be saying if her son had of been birthed at 40 weeks no worries at all? would she still be saying home births are bad? pfft, i'm temped to go buy the herald sun tomorrow to see what slanted biased replys they put it (if any)
and her in that comment chat thing...doing would make more sense as she runs away mid-way though!
