For everyone planning a home/"natural" birth and/or boycotting hospitals, please google "Hurt By Homebirth" and read the experiences on the blog. It's worth taking a look at the other side of the debate before making a decision that could have serious ramifications on your or your baby's health. Just sayin'.
I'm having my second baby with a midwife, and not in a hospital. Everyone thinks I'm weird. Sad it has to be that way, but a lot of things in the United States are ass-backwards and wrong.
This video is a real eye opener for women who have only just learned that their options for birth are broader and better than say....legs spread up on stirrups, doctors looking up your you know what and taking the dignity away from a woman during her birthing experience. I am so glad I learned about this. I am so glad to know that giving birth isn't all screams and pains like what happens in the hospital and what we see on t.v. Thank God I learned about this.
@foshizzbizz101 me too.. I have no kids because I was always so scared out of my mind seeing only screams while birthing... Now I see it differently... actually thinking that a baby can be a possibility now :)
Also, he is not just talking about C-section.. he is talking about the massive amounts of drugs given to women to numb the pain of childbirth, that interfere with the love hormones that are SUPPOSED to be released through natural childbirth, that create attachment... not to say it happens to all mothers who are numbed, but it's interesting to me the amount of mothers who suffer post partum after experiencing an un-natural birth
I was lucky to have a great delievery...I was lucky to have an all natural birth and I was also lucky to be in labor for 5 hours and pushed for 23 min...The most wonderful thing in the world was kissing my daughter for the 1st time and the love I have felt...It is the most amazing thing in the world....
yeah sorry but a mother who gave birth to her child via c section loves her child no less than a mother who gave birth without drugs and did it at home. if you want to have your baby at home and natural, all the power to you but stop thinking your so special and a better mother than those who had their children in the hospital with medication. what works for one person doesn't always work for everyone.
So, according to this "expert", anyone that takes drugs for any reason WILL NOT love their baby. This is the most ludacris piece of propaganda I have ever seen. So any woman that must have a c-section or epideral does not love their child? I am persoanally offended by this video and feel this man has no credibility whatsoever. Since my son was breech and my wife had placenta previa we had to have a c-section, and according to this mans flawed logic, we did not take care of our baby.
@jldoctor not what he's saying! only that interfering with mother nature has more ramifications than just providing pain relief. It interferes with the "mother's" natural instincts to protect, love, and become attached to her baby. Maybe this doesn't happen to everyone, but it is more likely for those births that undergo medical interventions, even those that are necessary to save the life of the mother and/or baby.
I'd like to see your facts when you say its more likely. And I think the ramifications to save the mother and baby are a little more serious then someones "supposed" view that the mother can't bond. My wife had to have a c-section and I can promise you her bond was never stronger.
@jldoctor - Because we are evolved and more intelligent than animals, yes, we can still love our babies even with c-sections and drugs, but there is an incredibly higher rate of maternal disconnection and post-partum depression than a natural, vaginal birth. You can't deny that it disrupts the natural process. C-secs are great, for those 5-10% of women who actually need them. Nobody would condemn your wife's . But, it IS the least optimal way to have a baby. I'm sorry she had to go through that.
thought u had the bby too. lol but this video made alot of sense to me, i guess some people didnt like it lmfao. but no matter what im going natural all natural. and im gonna bitch slap the nxt person who say youll see or yea right or you say that now. woman everywhere have done it for thousands of yrs w/out drugs im sure i can manage
We are not chimpanzees. We are human beings. Our social attachments do not come from "love hormones". They come from our interactions with others, and our knowledge of who other people are in relation to ourselves. It is this intellectual flexibility that makes us different from "animals".
There is no evidence to suggest that a woman who had an epidural or a C-section loves her child any less than one who delivered her baby in a bathtub at home.
@DrSandmann it's not necessarily saying that we are chimps or that a woman who has had an epidural or c section will love their child less... he's just communicating the power of human emotion and the hormones released at a natural non intervention birth are so immense and powerful. it's how it was intended to be. however, it doesn't mean because you gave birth at the hospital with an epidural that you aren't going to love your baby (obviously). you took it a little too literal.
@alkalinerush thats what I was questioning... I think birthing however makes you comfortable is nice, but putting down others because they didn't birth naturally. Seriously, I was wondering what about the people who have to have c-sections... if not them or their babies would die? Makes you wonder about this theory.... I got a lil lost on the monkey theory! We are not monkey's we are human.
ohkay... so he's saying you do not love your child if you have your baby any other way than vaginally? because you need that special natural cocktail of hormones to love your child? well i really do not believe because monkeys dont take care of thier babies for that reason woman do not love thier babies either
i would love to have my baby at home i jsut would not be able to since the military is paying for it and we would not have anything covering it. i love this part i should the rest. i will not have any drugs even if it is really painful. only if it was an emergency. i have a friend who is bearly 10 weeks and is already saying shse will take an epidural.and i thugh it was your baby also lol
Oh goodness you scared me there I thought you'd had bub early! I just saw your name and a little baby but then I read the title and was like phew! Also if you like this movie I recomend you watch pregnant in America it is amazing and a real eye opener! xox
I agree totally 100%!! This movie changed my life. I plan to recommend all of my clients to watch it. I love this part as well, What he says makes SO much sense and I wish everyone else viewed it like this. So many times I hear women say that they want to PLAN a C-section or an induction and they are NOT informed and have no idea the ramifications! It is so sad. :( But I am so glad you are informed and going to go all natural! I really hope you plan to film/take pictures of your birth! :)
o.m.g when i saw the video with the baby on it and saw your name i was like o.m.g she had her baby already...lol??????great video i enjoyd it thanx!!!
