Folks, lets use some common sense when commenting on some of my posts. Everyone KNOWS that a homebirth midwife is NOT going to keep trying to take care of a client who has, pre-E, insulin dependent GD, IUGR babies, transverse lie, placenta previa, clients with heart disease...... the list goes on. These clients get risked out of the homebirth midwives practice and they then become PATIENTS of OB's. They NEED higher up care! So when you say, I WOULD OF DIED OR MY BABY WOULD OF DIED, and then you tell me about your previa or your high BP or fill-in-the-blank, you NEVER would of been a candidate for homebirth! FURTHERMORE, IF you get to the part of labor and your baby starts showing signs of fetal distress, OR your BP is going up OR you get a fever OR you just need pain relief, YOU are going to be transferred to the hospital BEFORE it becomes a crisis. OK?? OK! Carry on. Rant over :)
