OMG!!!
was at my GP's yesterday and we were taking about baby and delivery came up and i told him i wanted a home birth this is what he said and i quote
"what with your first? well as long as you are willing to except that you are putting yourself in the postion where you and or baby could die thats fine! Also without hospital monitoring there is no way you can know if baby has the cord round its neck until you have given birth and .... well.... baby has been strangled and comes out DEAD!!!!"
i was like WTF!!!! and other half was there and now is demanding a hospital birth and he was so on board before
i did say there is a chance of complications with your 2nd, 3rd or 23rd child and his answer
"but with your first there is a MASSIVE increase in the likely hood of complications and you are putting yourself in the postion where you could both die and yet in hospital you would both survive because any problems we would just do an emergancy C-section"
i mean come on is my GP on crack or something??????
surely he cant say these things especially when most of what he has said is total crap.
when OH asked him about hospital births and all the monitoring i piped up again and said even if i went into hospital to deliver i would not want monitoring unless complication had arose and to this he answered
"as long as you are happy to put your baby at risk"
