This is what pisses me off about Americans and privilege

Imagine being so privileged

Imagine having access to healthcare for free. Access to strong pain medication. you don’t have to pay before going you just go and deliver a baby for free. until you get the bill, and technically you really don’t even have to pay it.

the only repercussion of not paying your bill is it affecting your credit. And actually you can pay as little as $10 a month to collections for it not to affect your credit if you call billing and work something out


And then stupid ass Americans go and do stupid shit like go have their baby in a pool of water at home because it’s “natural” aka now The next trend of what people are doing and posting on social media for something to talk about.

A nurse and I were discussing this at work and we were talking about how stupid and ignorant this is . Because imagine if the mother or the baby have some sort of an issue and they’re not at the hospital to immediately address it and they die 🤷‍♂️

I had a natural birth at home
So I can post some cute pictures and an inspirational post for Instagram

Imagine living for the rest of your life blaming yourself for not going to hospital and because of it your baby dies….

I’d find a way to drag that crazy woman to the hospital to birth our baby 🤦‍♂️

Fucking wack-jobs

@Teggy the risk of infant death is really not much higher for home births among low risk pregnancies. And it’s not like there’s no midwife

@Zeuro “low risk pregnancies”

what insurance covers a midwife to deliver a baby at home? It’s difficult enough just getting admitted as a new patient into a clinic much less finding a doctor willing to come to your personal home and deliver a baby there.
It’s just not realistic thinking

@DeluxedEdition midwives aren’t regular doctors just coming to your house, midwives are specifically trained to help women give birth, often at home but they can also come to hospitals. Most private insurance covers midwifery
