I sought out a midwife/homebirth after the debacle I experienced in hospital 1973, from the humiliation of being shaved, enema, & anybody who walked in sticking a finger in me randomly, episiotomy, forceps, husbands stitch, uninformed circumcision, then told I couldn't have a baby over 7lbs. naturally. My son was bruised & 7lbs.3oz. 19".My entire pelvic floor was painful for weeks. I swear, my son has a form of autism. I even took him for cognitive testing when he was 4 (my idea) & they said he was normal. I truly believe that epidural causes this HUGE seemingly new autism diagnosis that is now advertised as "Autism Awareness". I had my daughter in 1978 at home as my midwife's first client, she was 10lbs 51/2oz. She had been stuck under my pubic bone at her shoulder but the asst. midwife & dad pushed on me & out she came. Then in 1984, I had my son, an 8lb footling breech, at home as the midwife had the EMTs back off & she she showed how it was done. They are my heroes. Doctors suck in my opinion. In every time I have trusted a dr. with something important I have been injured or left to fend for myself after mistreatment. The healthcare reform & lawsuit reform has to be to stop protecting these butchers from prosecution & to stop allowing drs.to commit mal-practice without fear of retribution from their victims. And to stop insurance companies from grabbing any awards from the injured party - a clause hidden under "Rights of Subrogation" in health insurance policies.
