I don't really see what's totally disgusting about the lotus birth. Folks usually either keep in swaddled or salted and wrapped. It's unusual but the risks are minute--less than the practice of early cord clamping, which is universal in US hospitals. Having has hospital- and home-born babies I can sympathize quite a bit with some of what this woman says, though I'm not into unattended delivery as a birth plan. And her baby clearly didn't suffer from the experience- the photo of him at 9 days is a classic picture of a healthy, alert, attached and well nurtured baby.

lots of people choose home birth for the very same reason. It's not an unusual experience at all to feel disrespected, rushed or receive unwanted treatment in a hospital birth, and if this woman knew ahead of time what she might meet there and chose not to do it, fine for her.And then there's the bullshit about how she didn't think the doctors would care enough for her.
