we have a mum at school who has 4 children the eldest is 14 the youngest is about 15mnths...she has never seen a doctor or had an ultrasound with any of her pregnancys and she had them all at home, her husband is a different culture and they are quite alternate people but I am not sure if this is the reasoning behind it or not, I was talking to her one day and she asked me how my pregnancy with cooper was going and I said the ultrasound had picked up a problem with his lungs she then went on to tell me that is why she has never had any medical intervention and that with a mums intuition she has always known that her babies were just happy and content with no probs...i guess I couldnt do what she has done but each to his own.
