we had our baby at home with zero complications and INCREDIBLE, COMPETENT assistance from midwives. 20 mins. to get a doctors secretary to answer the phone, our widwifes pick up the phone whenever we call. you cant compare the the cash we spent with run around time from the ppo and false positives from labs. NATURAL is intelligence when one thinks for their selves. to see healthy humans click on my channel

I don’t have children yet, but I have to believe that giving birth naturally is perfectly fine. Women have done this for thousands of years long before modern medicine. With prenatal care nowadays, a lot of complications can be prevented up front well before the birth.

This info is a little outdated: C-section rates are up to 1 in 3 now, and epis are at 50%. Plus the last I heard, the U.S. was 43rd in the world for infant mortality. Great video though!

Great video! I know as a doula I can help at least a few women have excellent births.

I had 5 beautiful, bright, perfectly healthy babies born, naturally at home, 27-37 yrs. ago, during the notable homebirth, natural childbirth movement. The obstetricians have been very successful in suppressing that movement, and the mortality and morbidity rates have only gotten worse in the US. It’s criminal. Hundreds of studies prove midwives and homebirth are a safer choice for all. Thanks for posting.

0:16 The “Fact” is complete bull! You can find the official infant mortality rates pretty easily on the web, and U.S. is by no stretch of the imagination 32nd from behind. It is not in the “first tier” of countries like Iceland or Norway, but it’s not far behind.
And this coming from someone who would jump at every opportunity to knock America down.
The countries with high infant mortality rates have one thing in common: POVERTY, LACK OF HYGEINE and LACK OF DOCTORS!

SerbAtheist,
You are sorely mistaken.
Based on the 2004 CDC data, the US ranks 29th in the world for infant mortality, which is a slight change from the rates reported when this video was created.
See apha. org/publications/tnh/archives/2009/February09/Nation/BabiesNAT . htm for explanation.
In many nations, poverty/hygiene/restricted access to medical care DO cause high infant mortality rates. However, in the US, these factors do not explain the US’s excessive infant mortality rate.
