As I have said before, the urgent problems that may occur at the time of birth can be treated or stabilized for hospital transport by a home birth attendant with the appropriate skills, easily portable equipment, and the proper meds. And, of course, these problems will occur more rarely in women and babies not subjected to the harms of conventional hospital practices and policies.</P> <P>-- Henci</P></div><br><br>
