Of course, if me and the mrs were anti doctor and anti hospital we would have home birthed without a qualm...but my wife's sister had a few choice words with me regarding the subject and I realized in the low probability that if a problem actually occured, I would need some help.
So, natural childbirth in the hospital is fine too...and of course, csections are a consistent life saver.
But again, my point is non about the legitimate use of medicine ... it is the illegimate reliance on pallatives by weak guys which promote weak families ... not only in the areas of childbirth, but most especially, schooling kids and loving wives, that makes for what I view as the roots of the invitations we extend to our enemies.
We live, too many of us, like we are being watched by a TV audience....and it is a lifestyle that neuters the soul of men, women, and their children.
If you and the Mrs. ever decide to have another Baby Bucks you might want to look into a birthing center. They are very free with movement and comfortable. The medical equipment is all right behind the cupboard doors just in case they are needed.
