Pregnant In America

Watch this

Next time I'm pregnant, I really hope I can move to The Farm in my eighth month. I count myself lucky to have had such great birth experiences in the hospital, but even then I had to *fight* for them. Women shouldn't have to fight when they're in labor. That fight-or-flight response can slow labor, leading doctors to push even *more* interventions. Such a viscious cycle.
