Lucky, blessed baby-to-be!! Smart parents!
Do you all know it is literally, honestly, proven, that it is safer to give birth at home with a midwife than in a hospital, for the majority of pregnant women? Yep, it is. After all, birth is a normal function of a healthy female body. There are 42 countries on this planet that have better maternal and infant birth outcomes than the USA does. FORTY-TWO! How is that possible?? (I'm not sure I can even name 42 'modern' countries quickly!)
Blessings and congratulations to all of those involved in Kari's birth in December.
