and yet the stranded beetle requires none of this scrutiny!
The ‘stranded beetle’ position (love the imagery of that name – and it is a very ‘scrutinous’ position really, isn’t it?) doesn’t put any of the attending professional’s backs out, does it? I mean, if you want to check a woman on a birth stool’s dilation, or break her waters, etc, how do you do that??? It would be sort of like ‘Twister’ the party game – which I personally love! No wonder women want to use birth stools... Less of those invasive examinations/interventions if you aren’t in an easily accessible position!
But, seriously, it’s all about loss of control, isn’t it? Fear of litigation... Sad.
Birthing Beautifully,

Too many Gods;
so many creeds,
Too many paths
that wind and
wind,
When just the art
of being kind
Is all the sad
world needs...
