Most homebirth stories... because so many of them reflect the mentality that women need to be told to what to do to and need to be heavily monitored to give birth successfully, which undermines the normal instinctive process. And yes, she's a homebirth midwife, but that doesn't mean she agrees with all homebirth practices.
