Why Unassisted Childbirth and lay Midwife Assisted Homebirth is the way of the future.

by Sheryl Lyon

Someday anthropologists are going to look back on this period of history with shock and horror. They are going to study how not only the medical community routinely invaded childbirth for profit but also performed unnecessary tests and procedures, inevitably harming and in some cases killing innocent women and their babies.

Not only will they study the ritual tortures and abuse but they will also shake their heads in amazement at how virtually 100% of western culture’s trusting citizens bought into the lies and not only believed them but perpetuated the myths onto their children and grandchildren.

Most people refuse to believe the truth even when presented with evidence. The truth is too horrible to accept. Modern obstetrics created a specialty out of virtually nothing. They have convinced perfectly healthy women that they are incapable of birthing on their own. In order to convince them of this fact they have invaded the majority of births to some extent or another until it is the only way of childbirth that women have ever seen. Women truly believe the interventions are necessary. 99% of the time they are not necessary. 100% of the time they are detrimental on some level. They all hurt the mother or baby and they all impede the natural birthing process.

We need to stop the insanity. We need to stop telling women that it is OK to deliver in hospitals unless something is terribly wrong. We need stop spread the word that these interventions are dangerous and although it makes us sick to admit, most of them are totally unnecessary (unless you are an obstetrician with a Mercedes payment).

Yes, a small percentage of women should deliver in hospitals via C-section. Women with placenta previa should deliver via C section for example. The vast majority of women do not have low lying placentas however, yet they still walk in voluntarily, strip down for strangers that will turn around and torture and mutilate them and then steal blood and oxygen from their babies. (Yes, immediate cord clamping always steals blood and oxygen that rightfully belongs to the baby.)

This is not being dramatic. This is reality. The medical model of childbirth is either blasting babies out, literally filleting them from their mother’s womb or physically pulling them out by their head. The maternity floor is a torture chamber that women can avoid entirely if they have the facts and the confidence in their body’s innate ability to birth a baby. If women open their mind, admit they have been bamboozled for the last century, and then get the heck out of the hospital as fast as they can.
