Diane said, 'Ooh, could we talk about this? I've always wondered whether the word "failed" is appropriate or inappropriate.' Just a thought, but those I work with label moms who come in from an attempted home birth as "failed home births" . The poor moms I'm sure are pretty disappointed they are there, esp if they had to have a c/s, and would not like to hear them labeled as "failures"!
