The Myth of the Expensive Baby

How many times have you heard young couples say they don't want children or they don't want a large family because "it's just too expensive to raise children these days?" This is just a myth to continue the depopulation agenda.

The first myth is that it's expensive to have a baby. A hospital birth in my city now costs $10,000 for an uncomplicated and unmedicated birth. Caesareans, at a whopping rate of 25%-33% in my local hospitals, cost a whole lot more.

Caesareans are very lucrative for hospitals and the doctors who perform them. The doctor looks like a hero as he performs emergency surgery and the parents thank him profusely for saving the life of mother and child. Little do the parents realize that it was the very protocols commanded by the doctor and his insurance carrier that caused the mother to need a Caesarean in the first place.

The media has created this image that birth is scary and high-risk, necessitating a lot of medical procedures, a sterile environment, masks, oxygen tanks, anesthetics, and a neonatal intensive care unit across the hall in case of emergency. Whatever happened to the peaceful welcoming of a new little one into the family circle right in the bed where the child was lovingly conceived? Why can't mothers give birth at home the way it has been done for millenia? Why not ask a friendly midwife or some experienced mothers to attend the birth? This costs very little by comparison.
