i know this is really off-topic, but i can’t tell you how disappointed i was when i found out that in e”y they discourage home birth to such an extent that they won’t pay you the regular social security or wtvr they call it here that you get paid for having a baby. they consider it majorly irresponsible, etc. i was soooooo upset!! that now i’ll have to go the hospital, hate hospitals…
I remember a woman I met in a class I took in college. She had had seven uneventful pregnancies and seven uneventful deliveries. She was still young and about as low-risk as you could get with child #8.
A problem came up suddenly during delivery. Had she not been in the hospital, both she and the baby would probably have died.
