Both twins breech. Birthed vaginally. No epidural, not episiotomy, no tears, no forceps. Just my babies and my body. They knew what to do.
Stem cells in breastmilk may be the thing that so thoroughly distinguishes mother's milk from formula. A mother's mammary glands take over from her placenta to guide infant development once her child is born.
Delayed cord clamping and stem cells...I prefer going with the age-old natural process of letting these potent stem cells plant themselves in the baby as a last gift at birth, to grow within and carry out the purposes for which they were designed. Cutting edge science is just beginning to appreciate and understand the true value of this gift.
When you hear someone say “I would have died if I had a homebirth” or “my baby would have died” please remember that these are very emotionally charged declarations. Yes, tragic outcomes do occur in any setting despite the best possible care. However, in many hospital births, it is unnecessary interventions that have caused the complications that women and babies suffer from. (The CDC has estimated that half of maternal deaths are preventable).
The access to natural birth is not just a feminist issue. It is not just a woman's issue. It is a human rights issue. Whatever we "want" is not necessarily best for our baby. In fact, it might not even be best for us.
Fetching pins…
