It's not so kool'n'krunchy being a "freebirther" when the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck.

Or the baby is lying on top of the cord and slowly suffocating with every contraction, as was happening with my first baby. I was a week overdue and when they checked his heartrate it was very low. They semnt me to the hospital immediately and induced labor, but quickly concluded a caesarean was necessary for him to survive. If I had not gone to doctors and waited until labor began naturally and then went through labor unassisted, with no heart monitor on the baby, he would almost certainly have died.

Thank you for sharing that. My wife and I had a similar scare 7 months into a pregnancy: it resolved itself naturally - but what if it didn't and my daughter's life was in danger?

Would breathing exercises do the trick, freebirthers?
