Would you expect everyone to be fine with it if one of your children fell ill, and you simply decided that medical intervention was "too corporate" or somesuch other personal opinion, resulting in their death? That would be child neglect.
It seems like it's a terrible neglect to have the means to seek proper medical prenatal care/prevention and actively deny it. Wanting to have birth naturally is one thing, and very doable, but insisting that you not see any doctors for prenatal care, and then give birth without any medical supervision on standby, is just careless.
Hypothetical...
A child falls ill... a "doctors are corporate bullshit" opinion kills the child because the mother doesn't seek any medical attention for the child. That mother is guilty of child neglect.
An unborn child receives no prenatal care by a medical professional, and is not monitored for complications of development. That child dies at birth due to factors that normal medical care would have foreseen and been able to correct...
...and that's NOT neglectful?
You deny medical care to your unborn child, and that child dies due to medically foreseeable and correctable complications... and you think it's NOT your fault?
And not for nothing, but if I was the husband of such a woman, and that woman killed MY baby because SHE had some insane vendetta against doctors, and the child died because it was given no proper medical attention, that woman would no longer be my wife. You will have killed the child for no reason. None whatsoever.
You'd look really silly burying that tiny body and telling people at the funeral that the kid is dead because of your extreme anti-doctor stance.
