What does "Freebirthed" means?

Think middles ages. Think 70% mortality rate. Think black death, polio, measles. Think "hell yeah, give all of that to my child"

Home-birthing is more risky, but a “70% mortality rate” is leaving the area of “overestimation” and entering “lie” territory.

The neonatal mortality for US hospital midwife-attended births was 3.27 per 10,000 live births, 13.66 per 10,000 live births for all planned home births, and 27.98 per 10,000 live births for unintended/unplanned home births.

I couldn’t find numbers for births without a midwife.

Also, in 2020, the most recent year for which the CDC provides data, a total of 9 people have contracted the plague.

That stat is for "midwife attended" ie having a professional do it, not "me and my husband".
