I remember being pregnant with my third baby and pretty often, after telling someone was I birthing at home I would get met with the following comments:
WOW YOU ARE SO BRAVE (not said as a compliment) AREN'T YOU WORRIED ABOUT YOUR BABY? OH, I JUST COULD NEVER TAKE THAT RISK aaaand many many more. And I would sit there pretty shocked that a. they thought it was appropriate to say that to a pregnant person b. that they thought their opinion mattered to me c. that they thought their opinion was one based in truth d. that they actually thought hospital birth was the safer choice Let's bust some hospital birth myths shall we? |
