Walking is much more dangerous than being carried in a litter, yet we let people do it all the time.

Drinking a hot beverage is much more dangerous than drinking a cold beverage.

Life is full of dangers and risks. Why should birth be any different?

I could post many stories of people who had their first kid in a hospital and had a horrible experience, ends up getting a C section when not really needed, etc (See american C-section rates vs European for example). Then they chose to have a kid at home and had a 100x better experience and a more healthy baby (due to lack of C section and all the problems that leads to).
