The belief that hospital birth for low risk pregnancies has better outcomes than planned, attended homebirth is an urban legend. The choice of low-risk women to deliver in hospital is a result of the dominant and irrational human propensities to gossip, to follow the crowd and to cling to irrational hope. Rational analysis shows that planned homebirth with experienced trained attendants has the best outcomes for both mother and newborn for low risk pregnancy.
认为低风险妊娠的医院分娩比计划中的、有专人照料的家庭分娩结果更好，这是一个都市传说。低风险女性选择在医院分娩是由于人类具有主导性和非理性的八卦倾向、随大流倾向和非理性希望倾向。理性分析表明，对于低风险妊娠，有经验的专业人员计划的家庭分娩对母婴最有好处。
