Birth at home with no midwife, no doctors, none of that annoying medical stuff. Just the Mom, and some other idiots winging it like cave man times.
I literally don't understand a birthing plan that doesn't include doctors but does include kiddie pools.
Don't try to understand it, or anything to do with "Sovereign Citizen" nonsense. It takes a unique kind of stupid to exist in that alternate reality.
I mean, is that not what they are for? It's literally in the name.
Specific to your point, my local state run/funded hospital does offer several rooms with birthing pools and midwife lead births, they weren't pushy in any direction regarding birthing options and were generally positive on the experience, certainly didn't discourage the option.
Granted this is in a hospital, doctors are on hand if required and the option is removed if the pregnancy is higher risk, but a no-Doctor/kiddie-pool birth in and of itself isn't super remarkable.
