Labor and Delivery Forum - a Great Option

I wrote this and i'am not trying to scare or offend anyone. I'am encouraging you women to make an educated informed choice as to where to birth your children. Research your options, the birth process, and the dangers of medical intervention. Please women think for yourself.

Unassisted childbirth
it may be the safest choice

unassisted childbirth means birth without a doctor or midwife. This may
sound risky, but women were designed to give birth without assistance. Women
died in childbirth not because birth is risky but because of poor living
conditions. Women know how to give birth, but women have lost trust in
their bodies. When a woman enters the hospital, a stressful environment, her body
begins preparing for the fight-flight response, in which her body begins
draining blood and oxygen from the uterus and other organs and sends it to
the legs. This leads to a long and painful labor. No wonder why we have so
many problems we are in the wrong environment. Your body is saying there is
an animal out there this labor needs to stop so she can run. Then doctors
interfere with even more dangerous interventions. The c-section rate in this
country is so high not because birth is risky, but because it was never
meant to medically managed and controlled. All those important hormones
that allow birth to proceed naturally and cause the fetus ejection reflex,
which births the baby quickly and easily without any effort from the mother,
are stopped not only by the flight or flight response, but also because of
the drugs, and the presence of an observer. Doctors interfere with dangerous
drugs like pitocin (synthetic oxytocin) which obviously can’t work, it can’t
cross the blood brain barrier, also cytotec, prostaglandin gel, all these
drugs cause uterine rupture, infection, uterine hyper stimulation which causes
fetal heart rates to drop, hemorrhage, high blood pressure, titanic
contractions which lead women to want an epidural, and many other problems
. The fda has not even approved the use of cytotec for labor. Epidurals cause
many problems as well such as dulling of the mother’s ability to get the
baby out, which leads to forceps and c-sections and causes babies to be born
blue. Also kids whose mothers had an epidural during birth are at an
increased risk of drug addiction and suicide later in life. Please women do
the research and you will find that everything they do to women is dangerous
including routine procedures. For example, episiotomies first of all there
is no proof that they are safe or beneficial, yet half the women in this
country will get one, they permanently weaken the pelvic floor, cause major
bleeding, destroy sexual sensations, and mother nature has her own way of
suctioning, the pressure of the walls of an uncut vagina squeezes the baby’s
shoulders and chest causing fluids to burp out of the baby easily and
naturally. In the squatting position you are less likely to tear there is
more than enough room to birth any baby whether it is breech, large baby,
etc. Women were designed to labor and birth in an upright position. The lithomy position is the worst position, you are working against gavity, and the baby is putting pressure on major blood vessels thus causing fetal heart rates to drop. Most hospitals will not let you birth in the squatting position. Patience, privacy and no
interference either physically or mentally are key to a safe birth; you will
not get that in a hospital or with a midwife. Even animals know this; they
know any interference will kill them that’s why they seek privacy. Birth is a matter of letting it happen rather than making it happen. Most complications happen because of hospitals. Homebirth would only be dangerous if all those dangerous medical interferences came from the hospital to the
home.
Doctors won’t tell you the truth if they did they would lose their money.
Women should be outraged by what doctors do to them in hospitals. It’s
time women stopped putting trust in doctors and started putting trust in
their body’s ability to give birth. Women birthing in hospitals are birthing
in ignorance of self and of the birth process. Please women claim birth for
you. If a woman educates herself well there is little need for transfer.
Most variations of the normal if they do arise can be handled at home because a woman’s
greatest tool in birth is her instinct when she uses it. There sometimes is a need for hospitals but not for the majority of women. Good food, fresh
air, exercise, laughter, love, and support are the best prenatal care, not
needless tests that are harmful stress you out and make you fearful. Trust
in your bodies and let your instinct guide you, birth your children safely
and peacefully at home. Wouldn’t it be more joyful and intimate for couples
to birth their children the way they conceived them in the privacy of your
own home. There are 28 countries that have better infant morality rates than
the us what do they have more of homebirths!! Poison is wrapped up and
hidden in “homey delivery suites”, pastel color hospital gowns, and at the
core of it are ignorance, violence, abuse, and rape. Imagine how much better
our world would be if we women begin to birth our children the way mother
nature intended it, at home away from all those dangerous medical
interferences surrounded only by love and support, and the women free to
follow her instinct, and free to allow her body to work the it was designed
to since the beginning of time. Birth is normal, and safe. Interference is risky. Mother nature has perfected childbirth, and we screw it up the minute we walk into the hospital.
Please women I encourage you to have an unassisted pregnancy and birth it can be the best choice.
