The toilet bowl baby

Woman unclogs a stinky toilet with plunger

What could be more deeply spiritual, personally empowering and beautiful than being born head first into a fecally contaminated toilet?

According to the mother’s Facebook post:

Ooommmmggggg!!

I dropped him in the toilet lol id like idk what to dooooo!!!!!!

I love him so much!! Still hasnt hit me yet!!

He’s the chillest baby every BTW!!

Ha, ha, ha, ha. She had a deliberately unassisted homebirth and dropped the baby on its head into the toilet. So funny! NOT.

What could be better than that? Apparently having your partner video it instead of catching the baby (always thinking of bragging rights!) and then immediately posting it on Facebook to get kudos from the other narcissists for your stupid, immature stunt.

“I love him so much!!”

Just not so much that she would actually protect his health and life by giving birth in the hospital. Her birth experience is ever so much more important than a baby with a mouth full of feces.

Amazingly, 310 other selfish idiots thought that the post was so beautiful that they liked it.

But now these buffoons from the unassisted birth Facebook group are angry.

No, not that the baby was treated literally like shit. Be serious! They don’t care about that.

They’re angry that I posted it on The Skeptical OB Facebook page.

The comments are priceless!

It was an accident?

No, it wasn’t. She chose to give birth on the toilet and her partner chose to record it instead of catching the baby.

I’m “judgemental”? Damn straight!

It’s beautiful? Only if you think the important part of birth is bragging to your friends regardless of what happens to the baby.

The parachuters proceeded to embarrass themselves by bleating the usual homebirth garbage …

… but were unable to back it up with any scientific evidence of any kind.

No problem!

As Dietra explains, whether homebirth is safe or not “has nothing to do with facts.”

Sorry Dietra, but it has everything to do with facts.

It’s a FACT that homebirth increases the risk of perinatal death up to 800%.

It’s a FACT that there is no evidence that homebirth in the US is safe.

It’s a FACT that there is no evidence that unassisted birth is ever safe.

But, hey, what are facts compared to a mother’s right to risk her baby’s death for kudos from her Facebook friends? What are facts when compared to a mother’s right to drop her baby head first into a fecally contaminated toilet? What are facts compared to a mother’s desperate need to boost her fragile self esteem with a selfish, immature narcissistic stunt like homebirth?

It’s hardly surprisingly that in a world where dropping your baby onto its head in the toilet is considered “beautiful” facts make no difference at all.
