Midwife for the Living

I read this post from Sage Femme and had to post it for my readers. It is a beautifully written essay on why I think hospital birth is so fucked up, and I refuse to do it. Read it and the accompanying post she links to called "If you buy the hospital ticket, you go for the hospital ride" This post by Navelgazing Midwife changed my mind about trying to change hospital birth and instead putting my energy behind promoting homebirth as a viable, reasonable and safe option.
