Freebirthing is making headlines as more and more women are choosing to keep this intimate, personal event, well….intimate and personal. Unassisted Childbirth really stirs up emotions in those that believe we should blindly trust the medical establishment (”yes sir, mr. doctor sir) and let them do whatever they like to us. Perhaps if they would actually listen to what women are saying and stop routinely and automatically doing harmful things to us against our wishes, the UC movement wouldn’t be taking hold with such ferocity.

Naturally, the biggest battle cry against UC is the “what if something goes wrong” argument. What UC advocates realize is that vast majority of “things going wrong” are caused by the rush, greed and convenience of the system and the interventions involved in medicalized childbirth. The majority of potential complications can be diagnosed prior to delivery or are slow to develop during delivery. Complications that are unforeseen, life threatening, develop immediately and not caused by medical personnel are thankfully extremely rare and usually have the same devastating outcome in a hospital setting.
