“ Any woman that instinctively knows that there is a safer, more natural and yes- easier way to birth and wants to learn more- this is the place for you. Whether you choose to birth in a hospital, birth-center or at home- you should join this Meetup because it is a great bunch of women who have a better understanding about how our society has brainwashed women into believing that their bodies are unable to birth with medicalizing the entire process. Your chances are higher than 1 in 3 of having a c-section in a hospital- and if women learned about our system and THEIR bodies, and gained a clearer understanding of the HIGH risk of complications- instead of just following the herd of others who say "Everyone else does this...", the rate of infants dying from birth and birth related complications would decrease. The United States ranks 46th in the world for infant mortality. It is safer to birth in 45 other countries of the world. Read about it. Start with Ina May's Guide to Childbirth. ”
