Until it all goes China OPJQThis is because women have been indoctrinated into believing that they can't give birth without supervision.
I've known three women who've had their babies at home, without the help of anyone but their husbands.
FREE OF CHARGE.
Key word here -- HUSBANDS
I live in a very impoverished area , where many women can't afford a clean , neat hospital birth with all the 'fixings', many don't even get the prenatal care they should.....
And so yeah, it's often the whole 'walton's mountain' gig, until it's a breach, aspirating meconium , twins , or whatever other gestational manifestation

I can remember as an EMT being called in for so many of these 'gone astray' births , trying to get the ER through the mountains on the radio (Mf*ckers never worked when ya needed them!) , desperately trying to keep my game face on , telling hubby to go boil water.......

I probably looked more like Butteryfly McQueen in Gone w/the wind >>>

That said , i always looked at it all as women being co-creators with God , they really deserve better, JM old has been HO
