The the next time you see one of those You Tube videos singing the praises about water births, Amy Stenton needs you to think again. She'd one and now needs them stopped. She sued The Legacy Healthcare system for thirty five million dollars as a consequence of the injuries incurred by the son of her that now has considerable disabilities as well as cerebral palsy and hearing issues. He is going to need life long care. We quite often hear about individuals suing for damages but when individuals demand that the hospital system be shut down since it is dangerous, it provides us reason to pause.
Stenton and the loved one of her, Matthew Marino, examine the hospital's site and assumed water births were safe. Allegedly the site read: "European scientific studies have proven a lower usage of pain medication, reduced demand for medications to promote labor, decreased perception of pain, and higher patient satisfaction, among other benefits, during delivery and labor in a birth tub."
Sadly there were no physicians available during Stenton's birth which aggravated the situation. Based on a survey in 2005, there are more or less 143 birth centers in the U.S. that allows water births however, as a consequence of Stenton's lawsuit, those numbers could change.
