I think its all part of how birth is evolving and changing to become more medical, women are giving birth in unfavourable positions, in unfavourable environments and not having the support, resources and knowledge they need to birth well. Many are leaving birth 'up to the experts' which they say are obs, and if you look to them for a normal birth, they are trained in things that go wrong and tools to use to make birth quicker. Women and their partners need to educate themselves well, and not through hospital classes, but with things like the Pink Kit and read great books. Popular books are the worst, like 'What to Expect When You Are Expecting.' So many things are setting women up to fail, and they need someone provide an outlet for them - i.e. any pregnant woman they come across. This is only going to get worse if we continue down the same path.
