My C-section was 100% necessary due to grade 4 placenta previa. Knowing that didn't make it any less traumatic. The comment about c-section cutting my heart as well as my insides made me cry because it's just so true :0( I'm off to google rebirthing breathwork.
I have alot of respect for the woman who choose to do homebirths . It is beautiful in it's own way . But even a home birth can be tramatic . My cousin just had her 3rd home delivery and everything was great , baby was fine and so was mother . But when the baby came out his head was cone shaped , and she ripped because of his size , not a huge baby only 8lbs 4 oz , but she is small . So just because your at home does not mean you will have a beautiful birth . Hospitals can be good also for birth
I guess it depends on what you class as weapons. What an intelligent comment. Please note the sarcasm. Oh and I think you will find that any hospital is way dirtier than my bath. With superbugs no less.....
I hated having my son in a room full of strangers. Some of the student nurses both male and female who did not have any reason to be there were even talking about how big my boobs were and asking what the birth mark on my boob was. It was so embarrassing and for my second child I think I will show my dissaproval from the start if they try any group gathering on me.
What we forget in this whole process is that babies are powerfully affected by their births - physically, emotionally and neurologically. The experiences of birth are strongly wired into their brains and bodies which has the capacity to affect who they are and how they are for many years to come.
@pinkflipflopsx - Choosing to birth your child gently and with respect is what this video is about. It is also about validating all the women out there who have been traumatised by childbirth. If it is "comfier" for you to birth in a room full of strangers so be it, I'm not trying to stop you. Many women don't feel ok with that though and there are alternatives. I also don't think you have any right to presume safety.
This video is so depressing because it's so TRUE! Everyone who is pregnant should consider their options before being in the hospital if the mother is healthy and the pregnancy normal. Let's change the 21st century for the better!!
Thank you for this amazing video. I can't tell you how many times I've been fed the 'you have a healthy baby, get over it!' line. My daughter was born with forceps, episiotomy, spinal block and 3rd degree tear to me after a AROM.
Medical intervention does indeed save lives, but it has no place in a normal delivery.
@OxfordMedicalSchool: This doesn't even include all other traumatic interventions that are often routinely implimented. Hospitals treat birth as pathogical until proven otherwise, resulting in so much unnecessary trauma. Induction and cearean's are over used and abused by a system that neither acknowledges or understand physiological birth.
@OxfordMedicalSchool I absolutely agree that in SOME births medical intervention is necessary - and in this case many of the procedures could be carried out much more respectfully, both for mum and bub. HOWEVER (in Australia) the rate of c-sections is 50% in some private hospitals with the average c-section rate at 32% across all hospitals (public and private) despite a very conservative figure from WHO stating that the ceaser rate should be between 10-15%.
@OxfordMedicalSchool Medical intervention is needed in few not many births. It is there for the few that need it. 85-95% of women can birth with no intervention but our system does not allow this to happen. The small interventions like IV's, gowning, and monitors cause the bigger interventions of pitcoin and epidural which lead to even further interventions of forceps, vacuum, and cesarean. All of which are unnecessary except in the small minority. Leave women alone and babies come out.
@Hardeen31 A question back to you: If your wife/sister/mother/daughter was raped would you need a medical background to ascertain whether she sustained trauma? Or that it was wrong? These women were traumatised by what happened to them, by the way they were treated before, during and after their births. This does not have to happen and can definately be avoided.
First ascertaining whether somebody is raped is a million miles away from ascertaining a medical procedure. Unless all the medical reasons are included this is a bias and unsubstantiated claim.
The point is not ascertaining WHETHER someone has been raped or WHETHER a medical procedure has been performed (or was even necessary), the point is the perception of the women involved of TRAUMA. I am interested in why you are so against the idea of BIRTH TRAUMA. What is your experience in this field?
I am not against it but there were alot smiling faces in the video which contradicts your claim. For the record when my oldest daughter was born the wonderful nurse took her from my arms to put her back under the warming lamp. Then with a snotty attitude saud' we need to keep her body tempature up. So I gave her a one finger wave goodbye and picked up my daughter and held her.
Hmmm, interesting. I personally know all the women and have been with many more who have seen this video with tears streaming down their faces. You can tell just by the comments that this is a major issue and I was of the opinion that I had captured the essence of what these women were feeling. Interesting reading your point of view. Good for you for taking your little one and keeping her temp regulated with your own.
It is painful to watch but it hopefully makes others understand that it is REAL and does happen to the best of us.
It's been 5 years now since I suffered with a traumatic 'birth' - When I say birth I mean when I was bullied, harrassed and assulted whilst they sliced me open and dragged my baby from me.
I don't think I can ever get over it, I don't accept what happened.
@sonia205 Huge hugs. Are there any support groups in your area? I find talking/writing/screaming about it all has helped me somewhat. Check out the link at the end of the video (if you haven't already) there is a whole section specifically about birth trauma. Go gently xxoo
Thanks for sharing! This is a major reason I chose to birth at home, even with my twins. Second being that I feel the hospital is not a safe place to be born into or to give birth in.
Something needed to be said about the traumatic effects of this.
