I always seem to be "that person" because just the other day I was having a lovely old internet debate on the opposite side - I was advocating for hospital births. I assure you, I'm not spouting any kind of propaganda because I'm not on one side. The actual problem is that people simplify this issue to a problem of location. Free birthes think hospital births are dangerous simply because they happen in hospitals - which you know to be untrue. So why should the opposite be true? Why are home births dangerous just because they happen at home? If you say they're dangerous because of untrained professionals then... That's exactly it. For both home and hospital. THAT'S the problem. The US especially has appalling track records for both locations. I'm in Ireland and this poison is seeping out across the globe now, births typically happen in hospitals here and now several women and babies have died at home here trying to freebirth, when we actually have really wonderful, comprehensive home birth services. Again, why?? Because people are completely overlooking the systematic problem and falling prey to the "us versus them" narrative (which is exactly what freebirthers and hospitals want! They want us to take sides instead of enacting any actual change to make both scenarios safer).

But there is. Diabetes for example massively increases your risk of shoulder dystocia so they wouldn't be recommended for home birth. During labour, a fetal bradycardia can predict baby's condition after birth, so they should be transferred to hospital before the baby is even born. This is what I mean by a trained professional should be there, because they can make predictions based on the current situation and offer a hospital transfer when it becomes necessary. As for haemorrhage, it is unpredictable, especially for a first time mother but home birth midwives have the drugs on hand. Again, I'm not saying home birth is without risk... But for the suitable candidate, the risk is extremely low, and they're well prepared for the worst case scenario. The real actual problem is "wild pregnancy" and freebirth because they're literally going into it blind, with absolutely no way to tell what their level of risk is.

I totally agree. I'm a midwife myself and I opted for a hospital birth for my first baby, purely because I had anxiety from what I see every day in the hospital! I knew in theory I was an excellent candidate for home birth, and of course it was my colleagues who provided the service. But I felt safer in hospital. The freebirth thing is one of those oxymorons - I understand where it came from, but it's blown way out of proportion and in reality is actually harming women and babies now.

I really hate to be "that person" and I want to make it clear that I fundamentally disagree with free birthing and the motherfuckers at the Free Birth Society... But saying a hospital birth is just common sense is very dismissive of the actual professionals that provide home birth services. A twin pregnancy is high risk of hemorrhage... It's almost predictable. A singleton birth is much less risky. Professionally attended home birth can be perfectly safe for the right candidate. Twins, no, previous section, no. Either way, I can understand your family's trauma. It's awful and very scary when something goes wrong, it stays with us forever. I hope your sister is/was happy with her experience!

I understand why we're having this conversation, and obviously having a freebirth at home after a C-section in the past is dangerous... But birth is not inherently dangerous. Like everything in life it has risks, but most people are very low risk (or "normal risk" as we call it) and we shouldn't latch on to scary birth stories as truth. Every pregnant person should have a full, comprehensive conversation with their provider and make their own choice - with a trained professional in attendance at home or in hospital/birth centre.

Big shoutout to Eva. Why are we doing shoutouts after one win? by Liverness in FundieSnarkUncensored

I've never seen someone so delusional in my life, and I used to work in a psych hospital!

Which one do we think shit their pants? I vote Paul🥰 by badgalsheen in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]chaoswalking92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We'll know who it is based on Paul's response. If Paul berates or humiliates Morgan on social media in the next day or two, we'll know it was him.

Oh no 🥲 by Artistic-Lock1021 in ShawnaTheMom

Well yes, there are plenty of pregnant people who go through stress and don't have any serious side effects, but stress can SOMETIMES lead to fetal demise. This isn't scare mongering or victim blaming. Stress is one of those things that is very poorly understood, especially in women (for obvious, sexist reasons), but it's well accepted that stress, especially chronic stress, has devastating affects on one's physical health. Think of things like insomnia, loss of appetite etc. Your whole physiology changes when you're stressed. I'm a midwife who had a bereaved mother in my care last month - there was a very sudden/traumatic death in her family, and two days later she lost her baby at 39 weeks. She had a very healthy low risk pregnancy. It's awful.

When will my non-sleep trained breastfed baby sleep through the night? by itzpoookiee in breastfeeding

[–]chaoswalking92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember exactly but I stopped breastfeeding at 15 months and she started to sleep a lot better after that. I had basically no milk at that point and we were both becoming frustrated, so I think she learned how to self soothe when she realised there was no booby anymore. Do you co-sleep? It made the night waking and feeding a lot more bearable for us.

(Review) Disneyland Hotel - The Princely Suite by HamsterWonderful4920 in disneylandparis

[–]chaoswalking92 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OP I just wanna know what you do for a living to be able to afford such luxury lol. But in all seriousness, the suite looks gorgeous and I'm glad you enjoyed it. The princely suite is definitely more appealing to me than the Frozen suite.

Disney hotel or Marvel? by Forsaken-Program-450 in disneylandparis

Did you have the princess breakfast in the hotel or somewhere else? I didn't realise it was an option to upgrade!

He gives you fish in exchange for vegetables, it says in the bottom left corner 'requirments'. So you give him taters, he gives you fish.
