Could a woman give birth without any help? by Connie b. Dellobuono
Answer by Connie b. Dellobuono:
After World War II, women are heralded to birth in the hospital. During that time, laboring women are cared for near dead or infected bodies and no safety precautions were used then such as gloves so many died (sepsis).
Homebirths are advisable for healthy women who sees a CNM or OB monthly. Homebirth CNMs (midwives, bring oxygen tanks with them).
In the hospital, if the teen is perceived to have used drugs/meds, the doctors know that the baby will need to be resuscitated.
