That why it says "not to mention." It's an additional/supplemental point on top of the main one about my child's birth, which shows that at least that one home birth was safe. And cheap.
- eurleif 9y agoNo, one wasn't safe. One was risky, but luckily happened to end all right. Just like driving drunk is unsafe even if you make it home in one piece. Safety is statistical, not anecdotal. Here are the statistics: http://www.skepticalob.com/2014/01/homebirth-midwives-reveal-death-rate-450-higher-than-hospital-birth-announce-that-it-shows-homebirth-is-safe.html http://www.skepticalob.com/2014/01/homebirth-midwives-reveal...
- Angostura 9y agoIn my youth once changed a ceiling light standing on a swivel office chair that was on a desk. I suffered no injuries. That doesn't mean it was safe.
- rdiddly 9y agoWe saw a doctor beforehand who ruled out all the usual risk factors. In fact it was safe.
- eurleif 9y agoNo. Are you willfully ignoring the statistics? The death rate for low risk births is 320% higher. http://www.skepticalob.com/2014/01/homebirth-midwives-reveal-death-rate-450-higher-than-hospital-birth-announce-that-it-shows-homebirth-is-safe.html http://www.skepticalob.com/2014/01/homebirth-midwives-reveal...
