I assumed when pregnant with my children, that hospital was the best place to be 'incase something goes wrong' unfortunately I was never offered any option other than hospital despite being low-risk, how many other women does this happen to? bonkers....

The default location for all women to give birth should be at home. Hospital should not be offered unless clinically necessary.

As far as students training goes, as I think we spend far too much time in CLU's instead of community settings and birth centres and see very little physiological labours and birth.

I know that right now my faith in women to birth their babies is beginning to waver, and that is simply because I have not seen it, only experienced it myself. I know they can do it, but why am I not getting a chance to witness and learn from it?

Other course I do no think are necessary at all, it is enough work getting to uni as it is right now, with a bleak future for us students and students to be, so that is not IMO the answer. Before university courses can change, maternity care needs to change and improve, we cannot learn and promote normality until it is commonplace enough to exist to teach us
