RE: The forgotten art of Childbirth - simplicity & joy replaced by statistics & fear

in #natural7 years ago

Going to the hospital, I was firmly convinced that I would give birth naturally. The only thing I was afraid of was the fact that half-educated doctors could spoil everything. And they did spoil it. A month of recovery in the hospital for me and the child.

We are used to trusting doctors, and when they say that after 40 weeks we need to give birth, we believe them and agrees to force the birth. But nature does not tolerate interference.

Sort:  

Nature is the best teacher of all. And sadly there has been a concerted effort to move us away from this most simple of messages.
