DESCRIPTION: 
Message from a cranky old woman
One of the saddest parts of my involvement in the childbirth conversation for the past 50 years since the early 1970s has been the dividing of birth: natural versus medical; hospital versus home; Midwife versus Obstetrician and all the other divisions.
There is no division on birth.

100% of pregnant women will give birth one way or another.
Each birthing woman is doing the activity of birthing her baby.
Every woman remembers her baby's birth as a Birth Story.

There should always be a very high societal expectation that all expectant mothers and fathers/other self-learn birth and birth-coaching skills while pregnant and use those skills throughout their baby’s birth journey.
If a father/other cannot be at birth, he/she can help the pregnant woman prepare her body in the privacy of their own home and learn the birth skills that will help her cope and feel in control.
If you feel I’m tearing out my hair and shrieking out my frustration, you’re right....
