Beautifully put!
I honestly don't understand why a mother would willingly put herself and her unborn baby at a greater risk of injury/death, for no good reason. When you go to a birthing center or a hospital, you can still be 100% in charge of what's happening. I don't know why women think that going to a hospital means that they'll be strapped down and treated like a farm animal. I gave birth in a hospital and I called ALL the shots. Luckily I was in a hospital, too, because I ended up needing an episiotomy so my son would come out faster (he had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck TWICE and was being strangled). If they wouldn't have pulled that cord off of his neck when they did, who knows what could've happened?
I just don't know why you would risk your life and your child's life so unnecessarily. People are fucking idiots sometimes.
