The Business of Being Born

Natural birth vs Cersaren...a choice which most likely will be made by many mums to be when yr baby is due.

Above link shows a informative video, 4 parts, on America's way of birthing and how its the way of Cersaren or C-section has been chosen over the recently years dramatically and the ways of natural birth has declined. Be inform the videos shows scenes of giving birth.

Its definitely acceptable for me but it may be seen as horrified by others. So to this particular audience, if u think viewing people giving birth is gross, well you should see war scenes which is way bloodier and gross. Giving birth is beautiful.

This video shows many aspects of birthing in terms of the emotional and mental capacity to choose to go ahead with a natural birth to bear the pain...but it seems this pain...may be a worthly price to accept to bring your baby to this planet instead of the artifical one.

Cersaren based on the video, should not be chosen unless its really necessary. Question of necessary is based on what criteria then? In America, birthing is a billion dollars industry and going to natural birth will definitely bring profits down for hospitals.

Drugs administrated will not replace the natural cocktail hormones produced by the mum during the natural birth which will have a after effect on both the baby and the mother. Cersaren as what the one of the commenter mention, is carry out in hospitals like perrforming nail clipping, but its involves cutting 7 layers to get to the baby if i remember correctly and exposing risk to the mother in many ways. C-section is done to convinent the doctors and not to the mother and the child. Natural birth carries far lesser risks.

Well..there are many many more reasons...but of cos, we had to had 2 sides of the stories on which method is chosen, how well u trust your doctor, yr midwife, your personal health history and ultimately, you are the one who will experience the birth of life and be empower the responsibility to be a mother.

Think i also saw a few different natural births, one is giving birth in the water pool one just be sitting and other ways.

Questions came up when i was looking at the videos:
Baby are submerged in the womb, which is like a water balloon. Thus, perhaps the reason water birth is also one of the alternative ways also. Does the baby in the womb breathe througth the code that links to his/her belly button? Haha....well think i can search the answer thru Google.

2nd, how abt this island im staying. What percentage of births here are carried out in which way? How many are actually opting for home birth?

3rd, natural birth in a hospital, is it still define as natural. How do one define natural. I recall according to the video, lieing on the hospital bed with legs lay on 2 stands apart...this position is not natural...but if this methods is accepted as the way to give birth in hospital..is it still consider "natural" if no artifical means is induced despite the wrong position? But in the first place, there is no right and wrong position, only the mother will knows right?

The purpose of sharing this is to be aware of various alternative information. Advice by experts may not be the best intention of the people you truely want to benefit. And im no medical expert nor a mid wife. Haha..so dont quote me. Simply want to create awareness.
