Birthing Position
Sex after Childbirth
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to the Natural Childbirth RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!A recent article in Psychology Today looked at how a couple’s sexual relationship is affected following childbirth. Like many articles before it, it primarily examined in the difference in attitudes following cesarean births vs vaginal births [...]
Antibiotics for Episiotomy Health
A new study by researchers at Stanford and Santa Clara Medical Center concluded that women who receive antibiotic injections after bad tears or episiotomies have a better outcome with fewer infections. That is unfortunate since many, if not almost all tears are caused by unnatural birth positions, drugs to induce labor and forced pushing. [...]
A Better Birthing Model
It never ceases to amaze me that pregnant women in the United States continue to believe that they have access to the “best birthing and obstetric care in the world”. What rubbish! The amazing part is not that people have been brainwashed since birth to believe that practitioners in the US Healthcare system are [...]
Video: Ecstatic Childbirth Video
I don’t normally care for childbirth videos that are taken from between mom’s legs while she is lying down. For one thing, it cements the idea in the viewer’s head that this is an appropriate position for childbirth, when it is actually the worst. Secondly, it is normally demeaning, degrading and objectifying [...]
Video: Baby Pulled Out By Its Head
I have said it before and I will say it again. Apparently midwives and doctors never learned about gravity in medical school or midwifery school. Their view always takes precedence over common sense in childbirth. If the woman in this video used gravity then the midwife would not have to pull the baby out [...]
Video: Natural Waterbirth
This is a lovely waterbirth video from YouTube. Notice how the noises the mother is making sound much more pleasurable than the agonizing moans you hear from most mothers who choose the medical model of childbirth. While this waterbirth does have a midwife in attendance, the midwife seems to do a fairly decent [...]
The Process Of Natural Childbirth
“I Believe…..That birth is inherently safe. The same loving, intelligent consciousness (All That Is, Goddess, God, Nature) that knows how to grow an egg and a sperm into a human being, knows how to get it out. Our job is simply to relax and trust. Birth is not a function of the conscious mind any [...]
12 Reasons Why Cesarean Might Be Recommended
by Carl DiNello
Nothing is guaranteed during pregnancy or labor and surprises often occur. Whether or not you are a high-risk mother, it is a good idea to be prepared for the possibility of having a cesarean. Sometimes emergency cesareans are necessary. They will only be done after a definitive diagnosis is made. An emergency cesarean [...]
Risks of Childbirth Interventions
by Yvonne Lapp Cryns
In spite of all the advertising touting “home-like” birthing rooms in hospitals, for most women, a hospital birth will be nothing like a home birth. Interventions are routine in the hospitals in my state. Every laboring woman will be hooked up for some period of time to an electronic fetal monitor, given [...]
Pain Management in Childbirth
by Lena Leino
Pain in childbirth is normal, healthy, and productive — and ends with the ecstasy of your baby’s birth. Although management of labor pain plays less important role in a mother’s satisfaction with childbirth, compared with the quality of the relationship with her labor support and her ability to take part in decision making, [...]
