I hate stuff like this

Home births under scrutiny. The title on my RSS feed said "Home births 'riskier than hospitals'. Headline with scare tactics. But the article goes on to say that the risk of death in a home birth 'was still low, at 0.2%.' GAH.

I don't even know why I read the news anymore.

Yesterday while waiting for my ultrasound, I picked up a copy of Newsweek. A random factoid casually mentioned at the bottom of the page:

"Death results from childbirth every nine minutes."

That was it. WHERE?! In the USA? Worldwide? Death results in childbirth FROM WHAT? It is SUCH a scare tactic. Because you know if somebody hasn't already died from childbirth in the nine minutes I'm in labor, you just KNOW it's gonna be me. :P
