Remember when I said

I don't care how other women want to birth?
Well, that's until I read about stupid ass women having Unassisted births & pregnancies.
What... The.... Fuck.
If you don't know what it is, it means that during their pregnancy, they have had absolutely NO medical visits/checkups. And during their birth, it's the same thing. NO medical professional, not even a midwife is present during the birth.

Are you fucking kidding me??? WHAT. THE. FUCK????
Are people just that much of a control freak to risk their life and their baby's life?? I just can't even wrap my mind around what on earth would make someone do something like that unless they're mentally disturbed.

Seriously... read up on some shit.... it is NOT easy for humans to give birth b/c we walk on 2 legs. B/c of this, our pelvis is a lot more smaller and narrow.. meaning that humans need help giving birth. Some more than others, but it's NOT easy for us to do it and just everything that could be wrong and go wrong.
It just totally blows my mind that anyone would be stupid enough to even consider this in a developed industrialized nation.

If you want a natural birth.. awesome, but at least get your damn checkups to make sure YOU and your baby is ok, and make sure at the birth, there is someone there that will help and will know what to do if , God forbid, things go to shit.

We (humans) gave birth/reproduced on our own loooooong before any type of medicine. Checkups are a good thing, but it's not really your choice what other people do with their bodies.

Yeah, and women and babies have died A WHOLE LOT in our history b/c of unassisted birthing.
Oh look... that has gone down significantly b/c most SMART & INFORMED women now have a midwife or doctor? *gasp* I guess that's just coincidence huh?
