No kidding, it's fucking ridiculous how selfish some parents can be. I used to go out with a guy whose sister was about to have a second kid and was insisting on doing a home-birth, despite EVERY DOCTOR insisting that it was far too risky. She has severe complications with her first child and they highly recommended for both her and her second baby's sake to have a c-section. She decided to have a home birth because she was being a fucking hipster about it. She cared more about the novelty of a "natural" birth in a "natural" place, rather than the safety and well being of her infant. In the end she was convinced to have a vaginal birth in the hospital and from what little I heard about it later it seemed to be a very good idea to have her in a real hospital with plenty of doctors. Of course she "never lost the baby weight" after the first kid, apparently baby weight lasts 2 years now? The second kid is now 2 or 3, and yup, that baby weight looks here to stay. If I were going to have a kid I'd be following doctors orders to a T, there a reason they're in the white coat and I'm on the table. Doctors deserve way more respect.
