Lotta crunchy types do this, bc they don’t want their newborns having blood samples taken, or vitamin K shots, or don’t believe dying in childbirth is a thing. Antivax mentality as far as I can tell.
My kid was born with the cord around his neck and basically ripped my wife open on the way out so I’m pretty grateful to have been in a hospital setting :shrug-outta-hecks:
There’s a reason we do it in hospitals, shit is extremely dangerous
A very good friend of mine almost died in childbirth for her first kid and for some fucking reason decided to do a home birth for the second because she doesn't like doctors. I'm glad she's still alive.........
Putting your wife or yourself (depending on who believes in the woo ideology) and child at a huge increase in the chance of dying to open the libs is something else.
It’s not even owning the libs a lot of the people who do it are libs, it’s like this weird thing going on with an overlap of yoga and reactionary ideology/purity fetishism. Homeopathy falls in the same bucket
Yeah it was all routine stuff but outside of a hospital it would have been ugly
Just think of how many people you know that delivered by C section, either mom or baby wouldn’t be here without that intervention, and we’re talking 2 minutes to get you from delivery to the operating table right down the hall they are on standby
Glad everything turned out okay! Yeah it's wild to me how many people choose to do something that's already incredibly dangerous in the riskiest way possible. Crunchy granola people really ride my nerves with this shit.
God the term "crunchy" to describe a person is so fucking revolting in that context and I can't read it without being completely thrown off, I just imagine this fucking dried mucosal film flaking off from behind someone's ears and hair and neck and it's audible and oh GOD, I know that's not the etymology but I can't not think about it
IDK about this person, but the medical system in the imperial core does a lot of work to belittle and degrade certain types of people, especially poor, indigenous, homeless and addicted peoples. Eventually people just begin to feel alienated and seek other options where they're not treated like subhumans.
Yeah you raise a good point comrade in that there is a vulnerability to engaging with a health care system that you don't trust to consider you as a human being - a lack of expectation of dignity in this context is also a safety concern
Iirc, it can be a fair option in the context of the US under medical guidance
That is, if it's medically assessed as a low-risk birth (definitely not breech), and attended by a medically competent professional, then the outcomes are equivalent to low-risk births in US hospitals
But all the home births I've been near were done on principal, with little to no medical assessment, and a doula (or pseudo-doula? Idk) without actual medical training. The people I've seen do them have all been "science is a lie" types

Why would you ever do a home birth? Hospitals exist for a reason

i hope everyone came away safe and healthy <3

That’s 32% of births btw

isnt it shorthand for “crunchy granola”? Maybe that helps?

Dignity is really important to people.

Yeah exactly
I don’t think doulas require any sort of certification, you could advertise as one right now if you want to
