For me this was a simple choice and I will explain my reasons below. M.D. This man has written many books on the dangers of modern medicine. I highly recommend all of his books. More than ninety-five percent of births, can and should be done outside the hospital. Babies born in the hospital are six times more likely to suffer distress during labor and delivery, eight times more likely to get caught in the birth canal, four times more likely to need resuscitation, four times more likely to become infected, and thirty times more likely to be permanently injured.
Mothers are three times more likely to hemorrhage.
Once you allow yourself to be lured onto Modern Medicine's turf, they've got you. Birthing rooms are not so isolated from the operating rooms. If you need hospital facilities, you should use them. But if you can have your baby in a birthing room, you can have it in your own bedroom. Whether or not the fetus is really in trouble, if the monitor says something is wrong, there's a rush to slice the mother open and remove the baby.
