Add in clueless or negligent MWs and its a recipe for disaster. <br /><br />This chart also assumes a nice urban or suburban area, with quick response times, adequate ambulance coverage, a fully staffed hospital/NICU and light traffic. This is not the case for a large amounts of women, who live in rural, exurban, or inner city neighborhoods, where those things aren't a given.
