In fact, in a consensus statement, last year the National Institutes of Health (USA) recommended that otherwise healthy women, should be given a chance of natural birth even after 2 C-Sections.

In urban India, the huge rise in c-secs is simply blankly accepted - very few question it or think of ways to turn the tide. Although the US has a lower cesarean rate than us, there has been a bit of a backlash from women even on that 30-something rate - the number of women choosing homebirths has increased. A statistical study showed that homebirths are as safe as, or safer, than hospital births. In Australia, women took to the streets to protest and protect their right to homebirth when the government considered making it illegal. In urban India, I have not heard of anyone even remotely considering a homebirth. It is one of the powerful ways in which women can reclaim birth and withdraw support from a maternity business that is mostly runs on power, arrogance, money and indifference. What is your opinion on homebirthing? In India, we tend to be somewhat apathetic towards many things – the current birth climate being one of them.
