I really need a good article(s) along the lines of childbirth being a natural process, not a medical intervention. The cascade of intervention=increased risk of c-section. 42 weeks being safe, regardless of what dr. say...

My mil is a RN and she is seriously freaking out 1) that I'm having a homebirth with a MIDWIFE "but what if...??" 2)that I'm ONE DAY "overdue" 40+1 and not getting induced. She doesn't listen to what I tell her.

And, she is starting to stress me out and worry me

I've seen so many great articles in the past, but I'm not finding one right now that says what I want. Any good links for me?

There's also some good books to check out: "Ina May's Guide To Childbirth" by Ina May Gaskin, "The Thinking Woman's Guide to A Better Birth" by Henci Goer, any of the mothering books.
