when my mom was pregnant with her firstborn, she was talking to a very old lady, who said that when she was a girl, nobody gave birth in the hospital, and everyone gave birth at home. mom asked her why it had changed, and the old lady answered, "fear". and so later my mo was in the doctors office, and she asked him what she thought was a reasonable question, and he copped an attitude with her, told mom if she was so smart, to just go home and delver her own baby, and so thats what mom did. home birth.
That was my biggest fear as a young mom, as I'm sure it has been for millions of new moms. Despicable.
