Why are all these hospital birth videos you show and so vehemently criticize obviously from foreign countries? In the US, doctors spend years in school learning how to deliver children and are have to pay very steep fines if anything goes wrong; so your claims that they risk the safety of the baby and the mother seem unfounded. The baby is too young to form solid memories of the birth or years after, so a spanking then will be forgotten in 5 minutes. I’m beginning to wonder what you have to gain besides the advertising royalties from this site…

Don Juan,

Thank you for you comment. The US doctors spend years learning how to deliver babies with maximum speed and to maximize profit. That is not always in the best interest of the babies (in fact, it never is).
Many experts believe that birth trauma is cemented in a baby’s brain and makeup. Why hit a child in the first place? It is totally unnecessary.
That is really the point of my site. These interventions are painful, dangerous and unnecessary. They harm the mothers and the babies and the birthing attendants profit tremendously from it.
I will be more than happy to post more videos of US births. There are plenty of medical birthing videos to choose from.
This website exists to show women that there are alternatives and that they can stand up and take charge of their birthing process and they do not have to submit to the doctors whim and Mercedes payment.

nicely

I don’t disagree that a child might forget birth trauma (I haven’t - thanks to doctors failure to diagnose shoulder dystocia I ended up with a broken collar bone and severe claustrophbia). But what about the mother? Having extreme intervention can result in birth trauma and unnessecary fear about subsequent births. If there is an easier way to do it (and I’m not in the US. Here in the UK, speed of births comes down to lack of midwifes and extreme pressure places on hospital birth facilities/risk of legal action which makes medical personnel force things more than even they might feel comfortable with). If this website can comfort women and make them realise that they are the best judge of how they are giving birth, and gives them the courage (medical evidence of serious complications excluding) that they can give birth naturally and avoid medical involvement, then that can only be good for everyone surely?

@Mrs Beever:

Thank you!!

That is really the goal of this site. Many women simply do not realize that there are other options and that the motives of most birthing attendants is to save time and make money. It is up to us to research all options and protect our own safety and dignity.
