Homebirth advocate’s baby dies during child birth
Janet Fraser, a vocal advocate for homebirths who calls c-sections “birth rapes”, suffered a tragedy when her baby died during delivery. A blogger from NJ.com is none too sympathetic:
Yet without going into details, I am an episiotomy survivor from my own son’s birth and I wouldn’t classify what my OB/GYN did to me as “birthrape”.
Yes, it hurt the next day. Yes, I was uncomfortable–but my son was bigger than expected. The momentary pain I suffered was nothing compared to the thought of my son getting stuck in the birth canal and being deprived of oxygen during the delivery process.
To me, undergoing an episiotomy (or even an emergency c-section if necessary) was a brainless sacrifice that I was willing to make, and I am grateful for the wonderful doctors that acted swiftly and urgently to deliver my baby boy.
