I love what you wrote! I've just turned 70, but back in the day I taught natural childbirth classes and had my 3 boys at home (in swanky Dallas, if you can imagine!). Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to me like the process has improved muck in all these years. In general, women are still terrified of childbirth and fail to recognize the natural process. Medicine, in general, is just so unnatural!

I was blessed to have an aunt whose children were born naturally at home, and then during my first pregnancy, I had an acquaintance (a mother of 4 or 5?) who was herself an advocate for natural childbirth and a Bradley Method coach. These influences steered me away from my traditional obstetrician and into a birth center for my firstborn. All three of my babies had midwife assisted births and all are healthy, unvaccinated adults today. Praise God for His lavish wisdom!
