Exactly, and in order for all this to be OK it has to work out that it is OK for the baby.
That is why we have all this discussion that is better for the baby - babies grow up better adjusted and all that.
I just can't get past the fact that if there is a complication - and the article I posted mentions that there is some type complication (small to large) in 10% pof births - then I don't see how anyone can take the risk with their child.
Ya, fine, the risk may be small, but it is more risky then with a trained asistant or in the hospital. This is just logical.
It has been hard to find any stats on this stuff but I posted (in my last post) about an Indiana community where there were "300 unattended births in the 1980s. The neonatal death rate was calculated as 19 per 1,000 live births, compared with seven per 1,000 for the rest of Indiana."
