I understand that they have their place and I'm not for getting rid of them entirely, but for gods sake...
BS. If that were true, home births wouldn't be a thing and the mortality rate due to birth related incidents would be astronomically high, even in the first world. In most European countries the mother and child go home the same day after giving birth. Antibiotics are only prescribed if there is risk of infection. Post-partum tears happen but aren't a frequent occurrence. Calling it nasty is also tasteless beyond belief. Nothing about birth is sterile. Sterility is the absence of any lifeforms. That is literally impossible with birth. The only near sterile place in a hospital is the operating theater at the beginning of an operation.Because your wife/partner and your kid are usually monitored and treated with antibiotic, vitamins, hydration.

Post-partum tears are common, so are episiotomies, which is a surgical cut to the perineum to prevent tears. According to the NHS, 9 out of 10 new mothers giving birth naturally will have some sort of tear or a episiotomy.BS.

Sure, if you're including first and second degree tears, then I'd agree, they are common. But to quote the NHS: ''For most women, these tears are minor, heal quickly and require little to no medical intervention."Post-partum tears are common, so are episiotomies, which is a surgical cut to the perineum to prevent tears.

Where did I say that it doesn't take a toll on the woman's body or that it's not a major deal? I work in a delivery ward. I am well aware of how significant birthing a child is.Childbirth may be natural, but it takes a massive toll on a woman's body.
How is this at all relevant to what I said?Before modern medicine, the mortality rate of mother and babies during childbirth is very high.
Please just end here. No need for any further development. Let them have their peace...
I cut the cord on both of my daughters and stayed with my wife in her recovery room each of the first nights.Because your wife/partner and your kid are usually monitored and treated with antibiotic, vitamins, hydration.

Well, I for one was present for the whole birth, and after that I stayed with my wife and child in the same room in the hospital until they were discharged. The mental wellbeing of the mother is also pretty important.Because your wife/partner and your kid are usually monitored and treated with antibiotic, vitamins, hydration.
