...but generally thought of as a bit hippy and bonkers in this country?
We were talking about it last night and DH was wondering what made us so hospital-centric as a nation, when up until the 1950's home births were the norm? Why did the shift take place in this country, and not Holland?
Also, DH reckons that if we adopted a majority of HBs in this country that mortalities would increase. I totally disagree but does anyone know the stats from Holland?
Thanks!
