New reality series shows women giving BIRTH in the wild

[accadacca]

A new reality show announced by Lifetime on Wednesday will follow young parents who forego not only hospitals during the birthing process, but also any shelter at all.

Born in the Wild will portray the men and women who decide that giving birth surrounded by only the beauty and serenity of nature and away from any doctors or modern interventions is the way to go.

Inspired by the huge popularity of a YouTube video that shows a woman giving birth in a tropical creek, some critics say such a show could kick off a dangerous trend that will endanger mothers and their babies alike.

[Byron]

Whatever floats your boat, man...

A friend of mine since high school had his first three children while he was still in his hippie days. They were born in a bathtub, or something like that, at home. Everything went fine because they knew what they were doing and had experienced friends there to supervise.

Talkin' about you, Joey!

Hmm. Then what happens when something goes wrong?

Prolapsed umbilical cord, Placenta previa, uncontrollable bleeding, breech presentation, to name a few potentially fatal problems.

More often than not, human birth is Uneventful and most pregnancies are low risk. But it's not something I'd take a chance on with my wife and child.

Anyone who wants to give birth in the wild (on a petroleum based foam pad) should be held responsible for any harm that comes to the neonate that could have otherwise been prevented in a clinical setting.

LNTI disagree with that...

Hundreds of abortions are performed every minute. At least this one has a chance. If they screw up, they live with it.

That's part of my "Don't tread on me" philosophy.

It's not a matter of it being the lesser of two evils. It's about doing what's best for the child.
