I won a sewing machine (Janome dc 2010) on AT back in '09. See, people do win! And now I am greedy and want that pendant. ;)

@bepsf - maybe that is my problem. i hate our all beige house! but it is a rental and we can't paint it. maybe if i look at it from the 'intentional' perspective it could work out. the other problem we have is we have three young boys...a white couch probably won't happen anytime soon.

"Now, as to whether individuals should have the right to decide where or how they want to give birth, that is a very different question..."

Not really.
And no one is saying you have to have a natural home birth. The concern is that the option has been taken away from women and their babies and that is not okay. Homebirth is a human/women's rights issue too. And it is the only issue being talked about in the article listed above.

To assume everyone is getting there information from the "Business of Being Born" is pretty funny. You did your research too, right? Do you feel confident in the statistics you stated above. If I am a stay-at-home mom, can I not be educated too even though I am not a Dr.? I have family and friends who are Dr.'s and nurses in various fields. I respect them but also know them to be human and not the perfect all-knowing medical geniuses some would like to faithfully believe them to be. Which is why I am no longer naive and complacent to just go with the flow with out having done my won unbiased research.

Have a good Sunday!

@teeze - i love it. she's all "what? you all are talking about NY and homebirthing rights? i have a better agenda for you to care about. look at me! i have something to say!"

talk about high jacking a post.

it is because there is a genuine concern for the safety of the mother and baby that people would like to see more births attended by midwives. but who am i? i was just a mother who had a low-risk pregnancy turn high-risk at the care of the hospital and all the frivolous interventions they tried to "speed things up".
my second was a safe and sound birth, at home! the pre-natal care my midwife advise and helped me achieved was beyond anything i have heard a Dr. suggest. plus, no blood transfusions the second time around! can i get a WOOT!

i have been very blessed to have had low-risk pregnancies. and if you are high-risk then a hospital is for you and God bless them! we are truly blessed in this country and should be able to choose either way.
