Agree most C sections are not necessary. Coming through the birth canal is extremely beneficial for the baby as you said.

100 years ago there were many experienced women to assist with a “home birth”. The same isn’t easily available now.

I’ll completely disagree with your last comment.

30-40% of all births in most westerns countries are by c-section. And they are rising fast.

If you have a hospital birth you have a 30-40% chance of a c-secrion. 90% of c-sections not necssary.

I classify this as dangerous. Hence why giving birth in the hospital is dangerous.

You could use a different logic to justify why hospital births are safe. But I dont believe this would stand its ground for most normal people.

Rare exceptions where it might be advantagous to have a hospital birth doesnt make it safe for most people. Because unfortunately some sort of unnecessary treatment will be forced on you when you are there. And many of these treatments are dangerous (similar to a c-section). When you are a patient you are vulnerable and most people are pressurised to follow what the doctor says. Its "forced" all buttered up with patient consent.

As a general rule if I ever visit the hospital, I tread cautiously, and get out of there as fast as possible. You need to keep you guard up, when things seem innocent and harmless. This is the time to be extra vigilent.

The number of people that die because they are in hospital, if these numbers actually came out and became transparent, you would have a different view and be talking very differently.
