Well that's the real nitty gritty.

Why don't you research the statistics BEFORE say WWII when hospital
birth was the exception, and recently, when its the rule.

I think you might find it a shade shocking.

Obviously of nothing bad goes wrong, home is ideal.

If something bad does go wrong, its a very ill equipped place for
surgical or mechanical intervention.

I am fully in favour of having the choice, provided that the home
birther signs a waiver of indemnity against any or all medical staff
involved in the birth.
