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)

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)

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)

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?--Krej talk 00:18, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
