Newindpress.com has published the story of Reba Daniel, who chose to give birth unassisted by medically trained professionals. While I’m sure unassisted birth happens all the time to women in India who don’t actively choose it or have other options (remember the lady whose baby fell through the train toilet?), this story is the first I’ve seen where an educated, professional woman did her research and decided to do the deed herself. Brava!
The article is written with a tone of reverence, rather than being critical of the mother’s choice, which is how unassisted childbirth is often being portrayed in Western media.
The website she stumbled upon and got her info from is here: http://unassistedchildbirth.com/
