"MONDAY, Aug. 31 -- Having your baby at home with a registered midwife is just as safe as a conventional hospital birth, a new study says.
In fact, planned home births of this kind may have a lower rate of complications, according to the study published in the Sept. 15 issue of CMAJ.
Even though the study was conducted in Canada, where attitudes toward midwifery are more accepting than in some other countries, the findings may help to calm an ongoing controversy in the United States and elsewhere.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is opposed to home births, as are certain organizations in Australia and New Zealand. More organizations in Great Britain are supportive and Canadian provinces are currently transitioning to midwifery, said study lead author Patricia Janssen, director of the Master of Public Health Program at the University of British Columbia."

The public was fed lies by those who stood to make money on our fears. They fed this misinformation and people believed it hook, line, and sinker. We've given away our self-determination in our own healthcare to deal with fears that were essentially imaginary.

Ha ha! They had to do a study to determine that, huh? Well, duh! Maybe they should spend research dollars on determining that children are typically born two eyes and not three.  |

Read a great quote yesterday that is perfectly fitting:
"They must find it difficult... those who have taken authority as truth, rather than truth as the authority."
~ G. Massey
At least society is shifting back to basics... albeit very SLOWLY!
