Christians are medical geniuses
Quote:Today, I told my mom I've been having sleep issues and asked if she could take me to the doctor. She decided I just need to read the Bible more. Needless to say, I still can't sleep. FML

Your mom may be on to something. Reading the Bible puts me to sleep.

My former mother in law was very religious. Her best friend was a midwife and very religious also.

We were young, poor, and broke when I was having my first son. As a "gift" to us, my mother in law's friend was our midwife for free. (Also, as a teaching experience for 2 students)

I want to make it crystal clear I have no problem with anyone's choice when it comes to the birthing of their child and support whatever is right for them.

Cut to the chase, after being 2 weeks overdue, not one actual Doctor appointment. 20 hours of labor and the women's 2 hour prayer circle, I ended up at the hospital with an emergency c section and a baby in fetal distress. Glad I was asked to go, by my ex. They even still scoffed and guilt tripped me that I didn't "trust God" and stay home to give birth.

In the UK, that would not only be malpractice but criminal negligence. Were you able to take any action?

Glad you're OK, how is the little one?

Not to mention being into the hard stuff, with all the thorns, nails and crosses.
