Home births offered to all pregnant women<\/a><\/h1>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

All pregnant women in England will be offered the choice of a home birth overseen by a midwife, the health secretary, Patricia Hewitt, pledged today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What a generous offer!<\/p>\n

Home birth is the right of every women. There are no ‘laws’ or ‘rules’ which say a women must have her child in hospital. However, the NHS has a default setting of We Know Best\u00a9<\/font> , which they clealy do not. Women are currently ‘persuaded’ away from home birth by the culture of paranoia and control-freakery which fills the NHS, and to the greatest extent this happens during pregnancy.<\/p>\n

We had to stand firm against GP, NHS and cultural pressure in order to have our home birth. But the midwife team who assisted on the day were wonderful. They work by the assumption that, all being well, all the midwife should do is make tea and catch the baby. And maybe not even that much!<\/p>\n

Under a new plan for maternity services expectant mothers will be offered a “full range of birthing choices,” including home births, by 2009. Setting out the plans, Ms Hewitt said pregnant women would be given minimum guarantees about the level of service they can expect from the NHS.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Let me make it clear. This witch is offering you a gift of nothing, wrapped up in falsehoods. It is your absolute right to demand a homebirth.<\/p>\n

She said: “I am making it absolutely clear: if you have a baby at home or indeed in a midwifery-led unit, it is only a professionally qualified midwife who can supervise that birth.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She lies! A mother, a taxi driver, a husband or a child can supervise a birth. Here we see the hand of control-freakery, and the lieing voice of a dictatorial system who does not want you to realise that YOU have the power. Through these subtle lies they take this power away, making you subservient and dependent upon The State.<\/p>\n

“Everything will be all right. You are in my hands. I am here to protect you. You have nowhere to go. You have nowhere to go. “<\/em><\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

“There are clearly far more women out there who would like to have a home birth and could do so safely, but aren’t at the moment getting that option,” she added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wrong! They are being told there is no option, but this is a lie! If you demand a home birth, it must be provided for you. It is not an ‘option’, it is a right.<\/p>\n

And worst of all, that most heinous of crimes, misinformation through poor reporting:<\/p>\n

Asked why the government was keen on promoting home births despite known increased risks for mother and child<\/strong>, she said: “I think the important thing here is to give women choice and give them the information so they can make an informed choice.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

LIES!!!!!!<\/p>\n

Home births are safer<\/b>. Home births have less problems, use less drugs, stand less chance of post partum infection, are less stressful to mother and child, give control back to the mother… need I go on?<\/p>\n

These people will tell you the truth<\/a>. More truth<\/a>. And yet more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From the NHS website: “Home birth is becoming increasingly popular. For a healthy woman experiencing a normal pregnancy with no major complications anticipated during the birth, studies have shown that it is equally safe to be attended by midwives in the comfort of your own home as to have your baby in hospital<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Birth is a natural process, not a disease. Know your rights. Own your body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
