In June of this year, Nicole Pytlinski Pimentel from Fort Mill, South Carolina, gave birth to her first child at home. She told me of the decision, “If you had told me five years ago, even a year ago, that I would have done this, I would have said absolutely not, this is crazy.”
Pimentel is part of a growing trend of American women choosing to give birth at home in the years post-COVID-19. Earlier this month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data showing that home births are at their highest level in 30 years. The Associated Press reported, “The report’s findings show the nationwide number of pregnant people giving birth at home rose from 1.26% in 2020 to 1.41% in 2021 — an increase of 12% and the highest level since at least 1990. That followed a 22% increase from 2019 to 2020.”
Of course, the vast majority of women still give birth in hospitals, but the reasons for the increase in home births are worth our attention.
...
What is bringing these women to seek home birth in record numbers? Vidikan explained: “A lot of clients are coming to me because of a general distrust in the medical system; I think a lot of that had to do with COVID policy, which at this point people are seeing as bad policy or over-reaching policy that has made them question the entire health care system.”

The C0vid mess pointed out the insane protocols doctors are forced to use.
There is a protocol for just about everything, not allowing doctors to be doctors.
Sort of like the hospital scene in "Idiocracy".
Hospitals institute insane covid rules, don’t allow visitors and generally took all the power away from the mother’s giving birth and now those women are choosing home birth.
😱 This is my shocked face.
Without a doubt. I'm due for a colonoscopy, but damn if I feel like going ahead with it. Simply don't trust what they may do to me, especially while I'm out.
I've noticed this, without question, as have my relatives.
Nowadays, they don't really care what you tell them verbally, they just want to run a bunch of tests.
Then when the get the results, they just want to perscribe whatever their cheat sheet tells them should be prescribed.
Then goodbye, unless that doesn't fix it, then come back in for some more, higher costing tests.
Once those results are in, time for higher costing meds.
Vitamins, minerals, diets, etc, are not allowed to be discussed as a possible solution to anything.
Unless you have symptoms don’t do it…..I have never had one.
.
Oh, if only there were a simple name for "pregnant people", you know, a word that would capture the essence of those who are capable of bearing a child.
Maybe a word like, say...... "women", perhaps?
Nah, that won't work, our new Supreme Court Justice doesn't know its definition.
Sounds reasonable to me.
Who wants to be force tested for Covid for going in for a routine birth, only to be quarantined and “treated” for Covid due to a false positive, and having the clot shot being foisted, and/or forced, on you against your will under coercion?
There’s too much money to be made off Covid patients for me to trust them to not find me “sick”.
I’ve given birth 4 times and the 4th baby was born in the car in the hospital parking lot—I didn’t quite make it in time—it was by far the best and easiest birth! A nearby EMT from an ambulance assisted. It was his first delivery and he did great. Maybe more births should be home births.
It may have something to do with vaccines as well.
Apparently, there is at least one vaccine that a newborn will not be allowed out of the hospital with. Not only has there been skepticism about the Covid "vaccine", there has been an increase in distrust of vaccines in general.
The mother who gives birth at home is in better control of what shots her child ultimately takes.
1993 1 of 12 unnecessary “emergency” c-section at 3 hrs labor (took 2 just to admit) and 10cm. Bradycardia BS!
...
2010 10 of 12, local OBs refused natural (after 8 pefectly nominal VBACs), had to travel an hour, almost happened in the van/on interstate, made it into the ER. I (the hubby) missed it while parking. It apparently takes 5 hours to get an already birthed newborn through security into maternity ward back to the momma. They’re “not set up for that”. Hospital pediatrician did not want to release baby daughter after 24 hours: “just b’cause”. Made my wife cry.
2012 11 of 12 at home, easy, , no birth plans, pricks, prods, slaps, rough washings, jabs, tests, gunk in the eyes, lectures, lessons, paperworkn circs, a la carte fees, risk mitagations, bureaucrats or nursery nazis. Made big breakfast after for wife and midwife, baby nursed well, mom slept very well.
2014 12 of 12 at home, easy, same story.
Trouble is if you wait until you have symptoms then it is too late.
That tells me they were likely unvaxxed too. They should to a study comparing them to vaxxed and compare miscarriage/stillbirth/birth defect rates between the two groups.
State trying to take away 4 month old baby. Parents have 20 unvaxxed donor volunteers but they are not approved by the state.
If we're spending zillions of dollars on medical care and mom and baby are healthy, there isn't any compelling need to go to the hospital.
Most homebirths (at least in PA) can be performed by a midwife. However, there is a hospital at the ready if things go south.
To be sure, I bet there are a handful of homebirths that become tragedies. But the flip side is untold numbers of hospital births that lead to complications, deformities, infection, and death.
What have we got to lose?
My father was an old time family doctor in a small town in South Dakota. Much of his practice when he started was home delivery of babies. Dad delivered scores of babies in the 1930s, 40s and early 50s. He prided himself that he never lost a baby or a mother in all those years. Dad had many stories about braving blizzards to get to the farm houses for women in labor and delivering babies by the light of a kerosene lamp.
His last home delivery was very difficult and he said he was afraid that he would lose both mother and baby. He said that God was with him that day when he successfully delivered the child and both survived, but after that experience he never did another home delivery instead referring his birthing mothers to local hospitals.
I was a volunteer ambulance medic for many years and one night helped deliver a baby in the patients home. I called Dad the next morning and told him I kept the family tradition going one more time.
Yes to your 10 of 12 story! When my baby was born in the car, she was whisked away and I wasn’t reunited with her for hours because “they weren’t set up for this.” They were also concerned about the “unsanitary” front seat (I guess some cookie crumbs were there?).
I didn’t cry but I did worry and my husband insisted on following them and the baby around everywhere until we were reunited, worried the newborn would be confused with another’s and switched. I was then admitted into the hospital where I delivered the placenta and then they charged my insurance company full price!
When we arrived at the ER, my husband ran in and said “my wife is having a baby in the car RIGHT NOW!” but they did nothing and assumed he was being hysterical. But he was a 4th time father and knew—so he ran back out to me to deliver the baby himself. He’d seen animals born growing up on a farm and just resigned himself to doing it himself. Luckily though he spied that EMT hanging around the ambulance and he ended up delivering the baby instead (very quickly after being summoned over).
The ER was lame (negligent) to just dismiss him as being hysterical. At least someone could have come out to check on me in the parking lot.
