I fully respect that medical treatment of women has historically been lacking, and at times horrific. Number of c-sections is actually a metric used to measure appropriateness of medical interventions for a reason, since if it's not necessary it's extremely invasive and a brutal recovery.
I feel for those who have had bad experiences. Midwives are absolutely amazing.
I am more concerned with those that refuse prenatal care and medical care for their children, when they are accessible, for their own comfort.
Your last few words intrigued me.
For their comfort? How? Usually, it will be extreme outliers going down such route, often connected with distrust from government or religious motivation.
I guess it's not really their comfort, you're right about there being extrinsic factors at play.
By their comfort I meant avoidance of discomfort, in relation to medical procedures, to the extreme of potentially jeopardizing the health of their child. Things (other than avoiding prenatal care, which can result in more dangerous situations during delivery) like refusing vitamin k for their newborn.
