    Did anyone watch the programme about free birthing on channel 5 last night?!! Just wondered what everyone's thoughts about having an unassisted birth were?
    Personally i wouldn't do it,i think the 3 women featured were extremely lucky not to have had any problems while giving birth and afterwards.

    exactly. That one even thought she had a low lying placenta and yet she still carried on with the unassisted birth
    I mean....................How stupid is that.

    Its hospital births for me. They can do what they want to me, as long as my baby and myself are safe!

    Although i would like to have a home birth with my 2nd i probably would n't be able to as my little boy was born at 29 weeks! Even if i could i would want a midwife there,no doubt about it!
    I know they mentioned that years ago women didn't have the technology,but now we do why not use it? Can't really understand why you would want an unassisted birth,because like you say what if you tear or bleed,not a good position to be in if you ask me!

    i think the ladies were very selfish. They only cared that they had the perfect birth not the baby. There are so many risks today we know about. I'm all for home birth when its controlled and safe, but these women were just irresponsible in my book!
