On June 3rd, 2014, Dr. Amy Tuteur “Skeptical OB,” wrote a piece entitled “An existential question for homebirth advocates.” In it, she claimed that the most important part of a home birth was the “relentless boasting about it during and afterward.” She then asked, “If you give birth in a forest, and there’s no one around to tweet it, video it, live blog it or create birth announcements that proclaim it happened outside the hospital, is it still a homebirth anyway?”
Today, we at The Spudd give our reply: No.
That was an easy question. The ball is in your court Dr. Amy.
