^ Amen sister.

I didn't want to be in a hospital just to have my baby. I toured every one in Portland and I felt like I was sick just going through them. I had my little angel by candlelight in an old converted house and it was the most beautiful evening ever. We didn't need a hospital, nothing was wrong with either one of us.

And doctors just want women on their backs when they deliver so they can see everything easy. Could you imagine if a doctor had to kneel down or crouch over or something ::) Also the pelvis is like 10% smaller or something when you're laying down, than when you are upright or squatting.

Oops, listen to me go off, this thread's about Britney.

^ All the reasons above are exactly why I am having an all-natural birth at home.

Did the hospital thing and the best thing that came out of that experience was my daughter...but I will never, ever do that again.

[QUOTE=Krazyjane]Yeah, childbirth has only been happening for thousands of years. Those horror stories you hear are overrated. Death from childbirth was mostly from dirty conditions and malformed hips due to malnutrition and fashions. Also, the stupid male doctos (obstetrics was founded by men and has very mysogynistic roots), were the idiots who decided that it would be best for women to lie on their backs to "preserve their modesty" and so they'd have an eaier time. Previously, women gave birth in chairs, assisted by gravity. Don't get me started on the days when they strapped them down with leather restraints.

IMHO, childbirth should not be in hospitals. They should be in separate buildings like birthing centers, but in the same vicinity as hospitals. Hospitals are for sick people, and childbirth is not a fucking disease. This is because hospitals, as much as they swab them down with disinfectant, are still petri dishes for lots of nasty bugs. I've worked in healthcare facilities, and even though they mop and wax, the idiots still neglect to clean little but effective places like doorknobs call bells, etc, not to mention venilation systems go all over the place.[/QUOTE/]

I agree with you! I also believe when you choose to give birth at a birthing center. The enivorment is more relaxing to me.

When I have kids, I want it to be at home or a birthing center or at home with a midwife, where my labor, needs, and desires are put first rather than the doctor's fear of being sued. I want to be able to go along with it rather than have a doctor nervously looking at his/her watch and calculating how long it'll be before I get wheeled into the OR for fetal distress that was probably caused by 15 different people screaming at me to push. However, I plan to have a full battery of prenatal testing. I've worked with mentally retarded people, and my bf's brother has Down's, and while I'm not eugenic, I could never bring a child into the world who would never grow up, and I wouldn't have the time or evergy to raise all my life. Judge me as you wish on this one, but I see nothing wrong with preventing a lifelong situation.

Religion has villianized labor as punishment for being women, and doctors have heralded themselves as saviors for such a horrible, deadly process. In actuality, it was safer to give birth at home than a hospital before infection control procedures came into common use.
