Maybe the more that we as family move towards natural "crunchy" living/non-mainstream the more it bothers me that people don't educate themselves about topics in general. I will be the first to say that I don't know everything but, I also feel that it is important to educate myself on all sides before forming an opinion. As most people know we are planning to have a natural birth with absolutely no interventions and minimum assistant from our midwives, which what we want. We are informed and have educated ourselves on the risks and feel that hospital setting is more of risky. Another example would be that we cloth diaper and we love it.
