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 [...]
Study Shows Heel Prick DOES Hurt Baby
Apparently medical doctors need a study to prove that they are hurting a newborn baby when they jab it with a sharp metal instrument. The new study found that babies may find the heel prick far more painful than doctors realize. Researchers studied brain scans and facial reactions even though the baby may [...]
Increased Risk of Asthma from Cesareans
A recent study from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, found that C-section babies are 40-60% more likely to suffer from asthma as children. The study is based on data from a whopping 1.7 million births and compared the results of spontaneous vaginal births and cesarean babies through age 18. Emergency cesareans posed [...]
C Section Video
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 the [...]
Cesareans and Prematurity
The rate of premature birth has been increasing for 2 decades and researchers are now blaming part of the increase on unnecessary cesarean sections. The cesareans are accountable for almost all of the of the increase in “late preemies”, meaning birth during weeks 34-37, when the brain and lungs are not fully formed, but the [...]
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. [...]
Video: Another Cesarean Section
This poor baby. His mother butchered so he can be dragged from his uterine home. He is exposed to harsh light, dragged out by his head and then carried away, cold and scared, into the arms of strangers while mom looks on helplessly.
Today is the last day of April and the last day of [...]
Video: Cesarean Section Part2
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 [...]
How to Prepare for an Unplanned Cesarean
Most women wish to avoid a cesarean despite popular opinion that women are opting for surgery vs. vaginal birth. The unfortunate reality is, however, that if you choose to give birth in a hospital, you are going to subject yourself to arbitrary labor timelines, potentially harmful interventions and monitoring that will increase your chances [...]
Video: Cesarean Section Part 1
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, easier [...]
