http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoBPfPnq8nQ This is a great example of unnecessary interventions. These women seem to be trying to dig the baby out. They are pulling the babies head, pushing on the mom’s stomach. It is nightmarish. Wow. Notice how the poor infant is poked and prodded and slapped. Now go watch a natural birth video right now. [...]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkDdcZZloEM&feature=player_embedded Although this is not a particularly traumatic hospital birth, any time a woman is on her back, she is positioning for the benefit of the hospital staff, not her baby or herself. Delivering a baby on your back (supine) is always the worst position for childbirth (other than standing on your head). Recommend on [...]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ0ZzY-gaZc This is another great example of why unassisted childbirth is best for mother and child. This is a short, silent clip of another hospital birth video. Hospital childbirths are always disturbing and here is another great example. First of all, notice the birthing position. The poor mother is nothing more than a vagina to [...]
Here is a nice short c section video to add to our childbirth video library. It is very clear from this c section video that a cesarean section is not simple or painless. It is major abdominal surgery. Just because the mother is anesthetized, does not mean she will not suffer after the surgery. Update: [...]
Today is the last day of April and the last day of cesarean awareness month. Yes, cesareans are valuable in a very small number of instances such as placenta previa but those cases account for somewhere in the neighborhood of 1-5% of births. Most cesareans are simply lining the wallets of obstetricians while allowing them [...]
Think you can avoid a forceps delivery by opting for a cesarean section? Think again. Babies do not slide out any easier when pulled from your abdomen than when they are naturally expelled through your vagina. If you watch enough cesarean videos, you will see doctor after doctor pulling babies out by their heads, using [...]
April is cesarean awareness month so to do my part I decided to only post cesarean section videos for the rest of the month rather than the feel good, warm and fuzzy home birth videos. Many women in America and around the world are currently under the impression that cesarean sections are somehow cleaner, neater, [...]
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 to assist the birth, then the midwife would not have to pull [...]
Have you ever wondered why infants are given a Hepatitis B vaccine at birth? It makes absolutely no sense because Hepatitis B is a disease contracted through risky behavior such as unprotected sex and dirty needles (which newborns simply do not do). As Dr. Mercola passionately explains in this video, the only legitimate reason to [...]
The rocket scientists at the American Academy of Pediatrics not only recommend against routine circumcision but also recommend the use of pain relievers if you are going to mutilate your son’s genitals. That’s mighty generous of them. People…..how is it legal that anyone, anywhere is allowed to perform surgery on another human being without pain [...]
