Attends hospital births? No Hospitals
After serious consideration, I have decided not to attend any more hospital births. Birth is a normal, natural event that does not require interference or management except in the rarest of cases. Obstetricians and hospitals do not understand natural birth and cannot help but to unnecessarily interfere. If you are seeking a natural, intervention-free birth, ditch the OB and choose a birth center or homebirth midwife.
Attends birth center births? All Birth Centers
Attends home births? Any Home Birth
