        @WSJ @SDReader_Grimm I liked to go to the hospital, because they brought meals to my bed on a tray. It was back to reality soon enough. ;)

        @MarlaLynch @WSJ Service is nice. OB/GYNs not practicing the art of delivery, not nice. C-section rates climbing http://bit.ly/uVmBRG

        @SDReader_Grimm @WSJ We went to a hospital where the c-section rate was low. There are many factors which contribute to a high rate.

        @MarlaLynch @WSJ Too many of those factors are based on insurance and a fear of lawsuits.

        @SDReader_Grimm @WSJ A fear which is, often, justified. The place I went used binding arbitration.

        @WSJ With the right supports & care in place, home births are no riskier than hospital births.

        @WSJ Saw a doc on home birthing once. Apparently much safer in home, if one is low-risk. #GoMidWives

        @WSJ birth is USUALLY a natural body process, not a medical emergency. Women should reclaim their ability to have safe, natural birth!

        @ipmadesimple not everyone is a candidate for home birth. But for those of us who are, it should be an option. #homebirth

        @not_tina_fey I had no issues until fetal monitor alerted us. Emergency C showed umbilical cord wrapped around my daughter's legs.

        .@ipmadesimple My son had the cord 2x around his neck & my daughter was wearing hers like a backpack. Both safely birthed at home.

        @WSJ I had three kids in a hospital,not sure why anyone would risk their babie's life by giving birth at home. Anything bad can happen fast!

        @not_tina_fey @WSJ I was low risk and young but,my third child would have been in trouble if I had not been in a hospital. Never certain.

        @SophiePitchun3 birthing in a hospital isn't certain either.hospital interventions can (& have) lead to birth complications. #birth
