From the article: U.S. has some of the highest rates of maternal mortality and morbidity of any industrialized country, especially among women of color.

hospitals where only ever needed for major complications.
now it is another money mill and experimentation facility for babies to get shots, tags, etc.
Most natural thing in the world giving birth
I delivered my son in the bathroom. That was 7 years ago though.
Wise choice to make considering these hospitals aren't to be trusted unless they know of the truth themselves.
It can be intimidating for first-timers, but it is definitely much better to have babies at home. Less pain, less hype, less interference.
I don't exactly shun hospitals entirely, but being in a familiar environment surely must be helpful. Bring the medical care back into the family, that's the way
I wouldn’t want to give birth any other way. Did you know you cant eat in the hospital before labor? And then you gotta fight bloodthirsty doctors for your babys placenta to stay attached long enough for baby to absorb all his blood. Then you gotta karate chop the nurses with Vitamin K and Hep B needles! So many things to fight and many aren’t even listed. No thanks! Ill eat Twinkies in a warm tub while laboring in the comfort of my own home THAN Q VERY MUCH
Never mind the fact that they put you in the worst possible position for giving birth. All to make it easier for the doctor.
Oh exactly and they give you a (in some cases they call this generous) 4 hour limit to push or they are gunna gut you open and fish the baby out, cause fatigue smh
