That can waste valuable time. If you're in the hospital, they call a code, a team comes running to your room, and it's all hands on deck, no wasted time. Every resource you'd need is there. <br /><br />If Kendra had really needed a doctor for something critical, they would have found one. When she gave birth the first time and had a doctor, that might have meant that he or she was unavailable for another woman in labor, like happened to Kendra this time.

That doesn't even deter them, because they do return! It's reprehsible that they somethimes send their children to the door, with the hopes that people will be reluctant to reject them.

Even with your scenario, she would be treated faster in the hospital than at home. She would still need to be taken to the hospital and then set up for the transfusion. She may have avoided a transfusion completely if she was already in the hospital if they could have administered pitocin before her massive amount of blood loss.<br /><br />Duggar home births are attended by lay midwives who lack the medical training of an obstetrician or even the nurses who delivered Kendra's baby. Jessa had to be transferred after Ivy's birth for pitocin because those attending were not licensed to administer it. <br /><br />Joy's attempted homebirth with Gideon led to an immediate emergency c-section because her midwife and Jill didn't know Gideon's position.<br /><br />Homebirth is a great option when attended by competent medical personnel. A CNM would be a great option. However, each of the Duggar sisters who have given or attempted to give birth at home are now high risk. Jill and Joy are high risk because of their c-sections and Jessa is due to multiple post partum hemorrhages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-75237417800299217762020-08-08T10:14:04.918-05:002020-08-08T10:14:04.918-05:00There can be side effects from an epidural, and so...There can be side effects from an epidural, and some people don't like the thought of the needle in their spine.

These are often treated with an epidural blood patch, but often it takes several blood patches over six months or more for the blood patch to hold. CSF Leaks cause horrible headaches when vertical and often people with them are pretty much bed-ridden. Some people (such as myself) are at a higher risk of CSF Leaks due to connective tissue disorders. Of course we don't know Kendra's reason, but the point is there are many reasons a woman may choose a natural birth over the potential risks of an epidural, .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-72670187955104980692020-08-08T08:46:14.573-05:002020-08-08T08:46:14.573-05:008:21- Problem is, some don’t take no for an answe...8:21- Problem is, some don’t take no for an answer.

I don't agree with someone standing on a corner yelling down the street to someone that they will go to hell etc. I don't believe in going door to door like some religions or denominations do. I have left Bible tracts on grocery store shelves here and there, I have also put tracts in cute little bags along with candy bars for trick or treat for the kids. What I do is when in public I look for opportunities to share Jesus with people. There have been countless times when in checkout lines or restaurants etc. where people will just start talking to you and they get to talking about a hard time they are having and so I share a quick testimony with them of how I was helped in a similar situation or a family member was helped or a friend etc. You would be surprised how people respond to someone telling them that there is hope in their situation because God is able to Save, heal, restore, supply, and to meet that need. I am sorry that you have had very uncomfortable experiences like you described and I just want you to know that most Christians are a lot more respectful and careful not to cause people to run from God by the way we act.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-80008684959040098222020-08-08T07:10:55.055-05:002020-08-08T07:10:55.055-05:00I don't think anyone is "too old" to...I don't think anyone is "too old" to learn a new activity, but this appears to be a "made for TV" thing rather than a new hobby for Jeremy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-14712963836690260852020-08-08T07:05:08.489-05:002020-08-08T07:05:08.489-05:00I was just comfortable with my doctor, plus the do...I was just comfortable with my doctor, plus the doctor who delivered my youngest seemed to be impatient.

The office I went when I had my oldest had 5 doctors in the office and I had to see each of them thru my pregnancy, and no matter what one of them would deliver me.
