But now new guidelines have categorised the procedure as unnatural in a bid to boost the number of women having traditional births.The aim is to reduce the number of women having epidurals or caesareans by up to 40%.

Natural? How about having the baby out in the field and cutting the umbilical cord with a stone knife? All of this stuff with doctors and latex gloves and pain killers and heart monitors just gets us away from nature.

My aunt and uncle had a farm. Aunt Hildred would work in the fields, go in and have the baby, clean it, feed it and go back out in the fields. She had 10. I cringe just thinking about it.

LOL, yeah really, "traditional births?"

Do they mean the kind women used to routinely die from?

You're not a woman, are you?
