are you in the medical field? wasn't my father Great! and weren't the two related reasons, just about what i said? (except that i was more sarcastic, less scientific). all 3 of my kids were born in hospitals - the one in the poorer neighborhood was just as good and much more loving (and labor was only 10 minutes - after the rushed-down cab ride). the other two were in a fancy hospital which specialized in what i called the "dead baby clinic" - extreme premies. looked like drowned rats. they didn't even bother picking up healthy babies - weird. just weird. even teeny tiny, healthy babies are really nice - no matter how they came out the chute. but i think that the mother's recovery must be easier with natural birth.
