Me too! At 26, My chances of bleeding out and dying after *a six hour unmedicated uncomplicated easy as pie 🥧 piece a cake 🧁 birth WERE next to nothing but if I’ve been home so *would my survival be next to nothing!* *SON WAS REVIVED TOO*
They had to revive both me and the baby in ways that we never could’ve been done at home!
Also take a look at baby Jensen’s birth on meet the millers. He would’ve been a dead baby if Born at home!
Jensen had an *unforeseen tracheal defect that stopped him from breathing* he had to be *life lighted to a children’s hospital* or he be dead.
Now he’s alive and healthy beautiful THANK you to hospital birth and your professionals!
*The odds of SUDDEN TRAGIC hell are 100% IF THEY happens to you.*
