Does the prevalence of hospital births versus home births make sense?

Asked by iamthemob (17196points) March 5th, 2011

According to some data, 98% of people have their children in hospitals. Current numbers place the average C-section percentages at about one third. The vast majority of these seem to be during the week.

Why is it, then, that we feel the need to have doctors involved in the birth, when it is perhaps the thing our bodies are most designed to do?
