Dear Friends:
 
Another thing that is so disturbing about the new ACOG statement is the  
assumption that hospital birth is safe.
 
Hospital birth in the USA today means:  a better than 1 in 3 chance of  major 
abdominal surgery, a good chance of acquiring MRSA or C. Diff, a 1 in 2  
chance of breastfeeding, a minimum of a 40% chance of having labor augmented or  
induced with  pitocin and an excellent chance of going home with a  premature 
baby (a consequence of induction). Besides getting little or no sleep  and 
being interrupted an average of 51 times in 12 hours by a host of strangers.  (And 
don't even talk about the food!)
 
Who wouldn't want to stay home??
 
Those ACOG folks as an organization seem clueless about birth, and  even less 
informed about babies and breastfeeding.
 
warmly,
