Dr. Stuart Fischbein, an OB/GYN who left hospital practice after 28 years to do home births, reveals that one-third of U.S. births end in C-sections not because they're necessary but because the medical system treats pregnancy as a high-risk disease instead of nature's perfect design—leading to America having the worst infant mortality rate of any Western country despite all the interventions. He exposes how the cascade of unnecessary interventions (continuous monitoring, epidurals, inductions, labor curves forcing 50% of women to be "too slow," breach births automatically becoming C-sections) creates the very emergencies doctors claim to prevent, while midwifery care that respects the body's innate intelligence produces better outcomes for mothers who want to avoid being traumatized by a medicalized birth system designed to maximize hospital revenue rather than health.
