I thought that you are from the Philippines but wasn't sure. And it is very cool that you have used acupuncture as an alternative to anesthetics. I am sure that could be a good alternative to the epidurals which are very common here and are dangerous in my opinion.
As I said, I am glad that we have hospitals and well-trained doctors and I 100% agree with you that cesareans can be lifesavers for both, the mother and the child. In the US, one out of three babies is born by cesarean and I believe that that is a crazy high number.

I grew up in Germany and had friends who had babies. It was the normal thing to go to a hospital and there were midwives taking care of the birthing moms. Doctors were only needed if there was a complication.
And the maternity ward was even in a different building - or rather, area of town than the main hospital.
There is so much to say about this. The sad story is that the US does not have a good record when it comes to taking care of moms. We have the highest maternal death rate in a developed country and that is shameful.

Healthcare is very much a business here and for each dollar spend for healthcare, not that much goes to take care of people. A lot of that is profit going into the pockets of insurances, the pharmaceutical industry and more.
I am pretty sure if I had stayed in Germany, the idea of a homebirth would never have occurred to me. But here and especially at the time when I had my babies, it felt a lot safer to me than going to the hospital.
