There are so many things that can and do go wrong at even the most normal births that it really is not responsible for someone to put themselves or their baby at risk. This can happen to prescreened individuals and candidates for home birth as well.
What do people tell themselves when a baby is lost due to not being in a medical setting at birth. Or, how about when a mother starts hemorraging so severely that best case scenario is that an emergency hysterectomy is done after a wild ambulance ride to the OR effectively destroying the woman’s chances of have more children.
Do they say “Oh well, at least I was comfortable and I had a beautiful birthing experience.”? or, “It was all worth it. No nurse woke me up at 3 am to take my blood pressure.”
