Well, your love of kids IS legion, Dear
It's really a matter of potential, though. Say everyone from here on in gets NO medical attention at all when preggers. No prenatal, not even a midwife in a small room at birth. They just wing it. Have'em in water, have'em in the woods, whatever....and no aftercare, no advice, no well visits. . As I said before,if you could visit a third world country where much of that is every day, then come back and say there's no benefit....hell, don't even have to visit, just google childbirth mortality or birth defects in 3rd world countries. We may not be perfect, but we're doing a little better than they are because of the medical attention given before, during and after.
