No

What the fuck, is the current year 1752 or some shit?

Depends. If it's her frist child the birth will be more difficult, take longer and has a higher risk of problems. It would be wise to at least have a midwife present. If she doesn't want to go to a hospital (which I can understand) then there are "birthing houses" (at least here in Germany) were she can give birth in a safe area with multiple midwifes attending her.

Keep in mind the medical science around birth is fuckef up. Imagine having to give birth in a bright room whith 10 people looking at you and not being allowed to do anything but lay on your back. It's much more natural to stand, kneel, squat etc. Women tend to know from instinct what is "right" in the moment. And good midwifes are more open to let her fo her thing

So if she already had children without problems, go for it. If it's her first, go to a hospital or birthhouse (if thats a thing were you live). But check them out first if you feel comfortable there

Yes. Wife did it. If you have an advance-practice nurse midwife and it's a normal delivery (healthy baby), it's safer and now comfortable for mother and baby. There's no reason for most births to be medicalized.

So is a rock falling and killing you instantly
Why don’t brainfags an hero that way?

Pointless, pointless risk. There is literally no reason to have a home birth

I really can't think of a worse place to ask this question. Whatever user says, do the opposite
