Yes, thanks for this! I don't want to sound like I think all medical interventions are misguided inventions, because, as my sister says (the anonymous poster) when things go wrong, they go wrong quickly. And Western medicine is fantastic for solving those kinds of problems. But the hospital is pathology based - it's there to diagnose and problem solve. Birth in and of itself is not a problem in need of solving.
