    It’s super popular now. And then what happens is, if they do decide to go to the hospital, it’s super late to do anything. The baby is either already dead or has HIE (brain damage from lack of oxygen). It literally happens in a couple minutes and can happen if you’re already admitted and on the delivery floor, let alone at home or in the freakin woods. THEN what happens is whatever poor outcome is the result of their choices is now counted towards the hospital as having X number of deaths or whatever and they they cycle that info through their groups as, “See, this is why you don’t go to the hospital.”

      There was this psycho mommy blogger in the aughts who had an unsupervised pregnancy without any medical care, and she went into early labor around 7 months and of course went running to the hospital, despite ranting about how bad hospitals are for birth, and the doctor immediately discovered the fetus had sirenomelia,which is a condition where the legs are formed only as one boneless limb (they look like a mermaid) which was in breech presentation, which would be impossible to birth vaginally, and told her she needed an emergency C-section. Part of the condition is that the fetus has no kidneys and usually heart and lung defects and is not ever going to live, so baby died within a short time of birth, of course. It was super tragic, but as she was a narcissist and went into defensive mode, she claimed she was happy she had no ultrasounds or any prenatal care because she got to have her pregnancy in peace, and claimed the hospital had "birth raped’ her because they “pushed” her to have a section. It was absolutely insane.

        as she was a narcissist

        that seems to be the root cause of most of this shit, and a lot of other social problems we have really.
