    Man if you're going to scare monger about hospital vs home birth. I can play this game all day. How many dead babies have you had to deliver? How many women have you seen bleed out right before your eyes? Women die during childbirth in the best of conditions, at least in the United States, but they die like crazy trying to save a few bucks at home. I wish you could see the things that happen, but I'm honestly glad you haven't. You ever see an elevator door open to spill blood out onto the linoleum? I have.

    I'm not going to defend this failure we call health care but home birth is playing Russian roulette with two lives. I want to try to be professional here, I can't. Midwives are serial killers. In my state, and I'm very rural, they're not even fucking licensed, anyone can legally call themselves a midwife. You wanna play an-prim knock yourself out, but you might end that year living alone with two graves in the back yard.

      Talk about scaremongering lmao

      I live 10 minutes from a hospital. We have a functioning medical system in my country. Midwives here are licensed, trained, government-funded medical professionals and primary care providers. If there's any chance of complications or it's a high risk pregnancy (which is identifiable far in advance), the midwife is going to be qualified to pass us to an OB so the birth can be done as safely as possible in a medical environment. You think I'm out here rubbing honey on a rabies bite or praying to a fertility goddess for luck?
