Didn't Shani and I already point out our own genealogical research going back beyond this random 200 year barrier you set up and the huge numbers of dead mothers and babies? Going back beyond your 2x great grandmother. I'm onto my 6x greats in some cases in rural England and Wales. Shani has gone just as far or further.
For every instance of someone in your family having a number of successful births, there are dozens which had no such happy outcomes.
I know, this won't convince you. The facts and figures others have offered won't convince you. I simply hope they will, however, serve to inform others contemplating having a child and will convince them of the benefits of modern medecine if they were thinking of "free-birthing".
