My very good friend began to hemorrhage immediately after delivering her son, who was born in a very low risk, non eventful hospital birth.
They had to inject her immediately with Vitamin K to induce clotting. She needed an IMMEDIATE intervention. I can't even tell you how many times I've heard her say how thankful she was for that Vit K, because she knows she probably wouldn't have survived without it. We work in a family physician clinic together, and see lots of scary stories that happen even IN hospitals.
IMO, when dealing with LIVES, why chance it? What if? What if something does goes fatally wrong, because it does happen...I bet for those of you that opt for homebirths, and something DOES go fatally wrong, you'll feel regret for the rest of your life that maybe a different scenario could have been chose. Scary!
Once again, my opinion for sure, just scares me to think about, especially when it could affect innocent babies lives.
