[edit] Hm
The tone of the article sounds kind of angry, haha. But it's pretty good nonetheless! HollowWorld (talk) 03:51, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Midwives telling tall tales
I found a site before called "Midwifey today" several articles focusing on epidurals make claims that they are dangerous; one article compares pregnant women to pregnant elephants saying elephants don't need epidurals and neither do women, another claimed "Women get epidurals for one of the main reasons so many women smoked pot in the 1970s—their friends are doing it." this article then goes into some bullshit about epidurals being unsafe as evidenced by Jim Morrison (because injecting yourself with street heroin is somehow comparable to having a medical procedure in a hospital). --Sammygirl (talk) 08:43, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Home birth neonatal death rate-accurate?
A friend of mine linked me to this when I showed her this article while I was defending c-sections to her. Should I add it into the article? 24.177.247.129 (talk) 03:26, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Painless childbirth
There are some anecdotes about women giving birth painlessly, such as in Mary Baker Eddy's Science and Health (under "Cancer and Consumption Healed"), and in hypnobirthing articles here and here. Are there any reliable sources on the subject that could be added to the article?--Krejtalk 00:18, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
[edit] Other topics?
I was up really late last night (couldn't sleep) and I thought about adding 1) Medical myths (talking about the persistance of a rare few doctors who like the "in the styrup birth", and who focus on the doctor's convince, not hte patience, 2) Water births - there must be crap on this "oh so lovely" bithing practice. I'll research both of those and add them. Do people have other ideas, or wacky things they've heard of from familiy/friends? I'll research them, just not sure what is out there in bithing woo. maybe age? is there woo/bad science on who can or should have give birth, or if it's really good to have a kid at 50, just cause medical science will let you?

- I'd love to help, but I got nothing. Most of what you said went above my head.--Token Conservative (talk) 16:30, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
- the article seems a bit light on birthing methods. i.e flat on back, squatting (birth stools, etc) and water birthing. There could be something on pain control and factors such as physical size, fitness and breathing methods. The idea that Doctors may influence labor for the convenience of the hospital would include ceasarians and induced labor by drugs Hamster (talk) 16:39, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
- Those are great, Hamster, thanks! like most things around here, this will take a while, but I've got some good ideas to start with. Totally forgot about the "pick your time" for woman or doctor's ease.
