damn these things infuriate me
it's always about the "experience"
fuck that - it's about the rights of the CHILD
how the hell are you going to justify death or brain damage with your "experience"?
the hospital as a location has a goddamn purpose.. to have everything conceivable at hand if and when it is required
taking even a small fraction of those resources for an away operation is a significant slice of the whole pie and puts OTHER children at risk
all for the completely selfish reasons of the parents - none of which has fuckall to do with the child
the birth of a child takes all of a day or two and you'll be home in no-time
if you create life, you owe it to do it right

oh, hell, what am i saying.. *eia

If someone wants to give birth at home, and can afford the experts and equipment to make it safe....why not.

My wife and I looked into several options for our birth, including midwives at a non-hospital location. One thing that turned us off about some of the hospitals is that they pushed hard for pain-killing drugs, which we thought was unnatural and excessive.

As long as the midwives are well trained and there are contingency plans in place, there should be no problem.
