Pros and cons of childbirth in nature. Correct childbirth from nature How a woman gives birth in nature

When it comes to the birth of a child, the first thing that comes to mind is a regular clinic, then a maternity hospital, and so on. But in remote corners of the planet, where life is still little different from what it was a hundred or two hundred years ago, rituals accompanying childbirth in natural conditions have been preserved. The founder of the scientific and creative project Wild Born travels the world and captures the beauty of this purely feminine task - the mystery of bearing and giving birth to a child.

“Women in Native American tribes have extensive traditional knowledge of nature, which promotes healthy pregnancies and births. Women of the Kosua tribe prepare a hole with boiled water, heated by stones, and throw in a mixture of cinchona, roots and herbs. Then they sit on top of this depression, allowing the steam to envelop their body and relieve pain, help them relax and recover from childbirth.”

The project participants set themselves the goal of studying the sociocultural, environmental and economic aspects of the traditions and rites of natural childbirth among women from various aboriginal tribes who were on the verge of extinction due to the influence of civilization.

The project was founded by photographer Alegra Elli in 2011. She wanted to explore and document traditional practices and sacred practices associated with pregnancy and childbirth, and how they change over time. The photographs taken during the expeditions explore the role of ancient knowledge in childbirth, midwives, ecology, local flora and fauna for rituals, pain relief and nutrition.

Every seven years, this tribe performs a ritual to cleanse the world and restore cosmic balance.

In 2011 and 2012, an expedition traveled to Papua New Guinea to find out what it was like to give birth in the jungle. The following year, activists traveled to Palawan, Philippines. In 2014, they went from pregnancy to childbirth with the Himba tribe in Namibia, and this year they will observe how women in Yamal cope with the birth of children.

These vivid photographs remind us that we need to take care of customs and traditions, try to preserve the richness and diversity of cultures, and also that the birth of children is perhaps the most natural and at the same time the most mysterious process that is possible observe.

“On the path to becoming a woman. I witnessed several social rituals while living among the Himba tribe, including the initiation of a girl. Having reached puberty, the girl leaves the village until, during the ritual, she is brought to a new social status. With the support of women from the community, the girl is brought to a special room where she is spiritually protected during her first menstruation. She receives many gifts during this time, and once she is introduced to the spirit, the change of status becomes official and a traditional leather crown is placed on her head as a sign that she can be married. In the photo, the girls are gathered in a small temporary tent, which was built for an initiation ceremony to assign them the status of women with the onset of their menstrual cycle. As part of the ceremony and on a regular basis, women burn various roots to produce aromatic smoke that is used as body perfume.”

All Slavic girls and women should know about this! And men too!

This is where the Life of every person begins... It is very important in what conditions, in what environment and in what mood Pregnancy and Childbirth will take place! Ideally, it is best to live in Nature at this time, away from cities, noise and bustle...

Main advantages of Home birth:

1) A woman giving birth at home is in her usual conditions, and she is as comfortable as possible at home. At home, a woman feels like she is the master of the process. And in hospitals/maternity hospitals, a woman has to face the fact that she is not the owner there and is subject to various manipulations and pressure from the medical staff.

2) Within 9 months, domestic microorganisms become familiar and safe to the immune system of a woman and child, in contrast to “hospital” foreign ones. This is why allergic reactions and infections occur so often in maternity hospitals and hospitals.

3) Childbirth at home - occurs in the position most comfortable for the woman in labor (optional: standing, squatting, kneeling). And in hospitals, in 99% of cases, women are forced to give birth in the most painful and unnatural position, but at least convenient for doctors (“lying on their back”).

4) During a home birth, the baby will be treated with care and love. And in the hospital, children often have their necks injured during childbirth.

In many “maternity hospitals” and “maternity wards” of hospitals, they use the so-called “obstetric aid” or “turn on the handle”. That is, when the head comes out, it is turned. Sometimes you can hear a crunching sound...

During this action, partial damage to the cervical spine occurs. Of course, all this affects the child’s health. Complications after this sabotage can be noticeable immediately or appear after several months/years.

In newborns, all the bones and tissues of the spine are very sensitive and fragile, which means any rotation is very dangerous. Unfortunately, most “smart guys” in white coats don’t understand this. Therefore, this sabotage practice is still often used. Moreover, a woman giving birth does not know about this, because lying on her back, she does not see what the “smart guys” in white coats are doing to her baby. “Pleasant” surprises of a child’s deteriorating health usually begin after discharge from the “maternity hospital.” Only then do women begin to realize that something was done to their children..

Moreover, no one is really trying to fight this sabotage practice. And even if this practice is banned, then many “smart people” in white coats will commit this sabotage out of habit. Why? After all, if at birth a child is immediately exposed to harm and cruelty, then his health deteriorates, which means he is guaranteed to become a regular consumer of medical services/medicines in the future. After all, without clients-patients, the medical business will not survive... Therefore, by causing maximum harm to children in “maternity hospitals”, the medical industry is forming a client base for itself.

5) At home, no one will force you to do vaccinations or harmful chemical manipulations with the baby (for example, treating the eyes with chemicals).

6) At home, parents have the opportunity to prepare the conditions for a comfortable and gentle arrival of the child into this World: close the curtains, light candles, turn on soothing music. And in a hospital, a child is born under bright lighting, which is harmful to the baby’s sensitive eyes.

7) At home, no one will cut the umbilical cord before the placenta comes out and the umbilical cord pulsates, and all the blood, as nature intended, will flow to the baby from the placenta. You should NEVER cut the umbilical cord earlier than an hour after birth!! Remember this! If you cut the umbilical cord earlier, the baby will not receive part of the placental blood. And this blood is not only important for the harmonious functioning of the body, but also very important for strengthening natural immunity.

8) At home, no one will separate the Child from his parents for the sake of unnecessary and harmful manipulations.

9) At home, most often a Bio-Energetically calm atmosphere (Aura), in contrast to “maternity hospitals”\hospitals, where thousands of women gave birth to children in suffering and tears, leaving behind a space filled with negative, unhealthy Energy + negative Energy is supported by medical staff for which Childbirth is not a creative and natural process, but another conveyor belt.

10) At home, no one will use chemicals to stimulate (accelerate) labor and thanks to this, the Baby will be born in his own unique Natural rhythm. Thanks to childbirth without stimulation, the Child and Mother will not be poisoned by chemicals that weaken natural immunity and cause various diseases. At home, no one will rush the girl giving birth with words and shouts: “push, push... faster...”. Thanks to this, the Girl will be able to feel the whole process of Childbirth and calmly concentrate on the process. And in maternity hospitals and hospitals, labor is often stimulated so that girls give birth faster, because there are a lot of patients and doctors want to have time to see everyone.

Even in hospitals, they often use the “crystaller technique.” The essence of this is that if the baby or placenta does not come out for a long time, then the “doctor” begins to put pressure on the stomach, squeezing out the baby/placenta. Instead of giving a woman a massage; instead of calming the woman and instead of other natural methods, the “smart guys” in white coats press on the stomach….

The result is bleeding, ruptures, pain and fear of a woman who, after such “adventures,” is unlikely to want to give birth to children.

11) At home, the father of the child himself can take delivery under the supervision of a midwife, and no one will interfere with the birth of the child into the hands of the father. And in hospitals/maternity hospitals, very often, fathers are not even allowed to attend childbirth, coming up with various excuses. And sometimes, “smart guys” in white coats extort money from fathers for the opportunity to be present at the birth.

12) And one more important factor. During childbirth at home and immediately after such birth, a man, woman and child can be together in the same living space. During childbirth and the postpartum period, women really need the support of their beloved man, because a man on the Spiritual level (energetically) is able to help her recover after Childbirth. If a man is not next to a girl (or woman), then he cannot protect her from psychological pressure and harmful manipulations of medical personnel.

It is very important that the beloved man is constantly close to the woman and child. This is important for both the woman and the Family. In the first days, it is especially important for the child to see Mother and Father; it is important to be three together, so that the child visually remembers you as parents. This is necessary for the Family to become one at a deep, Spiritual level... This is sometimes called the word “imprinting” or in Russian: imprinting. The same thing happens in Nature, when babies are born, they perceive the one next to them as a parent.

And in maternity hospitals and hospitals, very often the child as a “parent” remembers the midwife or “doctor” who pulls him out of the woman, often roughly and with injuries. Then they cut the umbilical cord too early, which is painful and harmful for the child! The child is taken away, injected with a nasty thing called “inoculation/vaccine”, the child’s delicate eyes are treated with caustic chemicals and, in essence, they are separated from their parents for a while. Some fathers, for many reasons, do not even want to be present at the birth. And the child feels that his biological parents essentially abandoned him, betrayed him, allowing him to be mocked and hurt! And then parents wonder why their children begin to get sick... And at a more mature age, parents will be surprised at the lack of mutual understanding with their children, and all because their first deep contact did NOT take place after childbirth... Such parents will not be good for their children throughout their lives. Relatives, but only biological ones, hence the misunderstanding...

Modern medicine has done everything to ensure that women experience depression and bad mood due to separation. Separation from a beloved man has a negative impact on women’s health. And the woman’s negative emotional state is transmitted to the child, and the child begins to cry. Women who give birth in maternity hospitals/hospitals have difficulty restoring their physical and Bioenergetic state. And after such an experience of hospital birth, women often do not want to give birth again.

The medical industry turns pregnancy into a disease, and childbirth into a surgical operation... In “maternity hospitals/clinics” they complicate childbirth and harm the health of mothers and children.

We wish all future parents to carefully study the issues of proper pregnancy and childbirth. Do not rely on the system for everything; approach these most important issues judiciously and with common sense. The health of the nation, family and your children begins with a conscious attitude to life, the right worldview and love. Health, peace and happiness to you!

One woman from Australia decided to demonstrate to all humanity that the body's capabilities are completely sufficient to give birth to a child.

In this article you will learn everything about it!

Even though the US is the richest country in the world, spending billions of dollars on healthcare, people do not always receive proper care.

For every 1000 births there are 6 infant deaths. This is almost 3 times more than in Finland or Japan.

Another problem is caesarean section: every 3rd woman in labor undergoes this test.

As you know, this method is used only in emergency cases.

Another study found that giving birth in a hospital can have a number of side effects.

It gives the following figures: the possibility of a caesarean section when a woman gives birth in a hospital is 31%, while at home this figure is 5.2%.

Women who give birth at home have fewer cases of episiotonya, pitocin, and only 1% of babies born at home were rushed to the hospital.

Another study from the Netherlands found that babies born by Caesarean section were more likely to have problems with their gut bacteria and lower levels of good bacteria.

“In the first hours of their birth, babies are exposed to a huge amount of bacteria. However, some of them are beneficial and promote healthy development of the gastrointestinal tract,” the scientists note.

Some scientists note: in order to avoid damage to internal organs, you need to follow the signals of your own body, and not listen to doctors’ commands and constantly push.

A calm and unhurried vaginal birth keeps women in labor healthy. Consequently, there is no need for sutures.

Some researchers have noted that many hospital settings perform cesarean sections unless absolutely necessary. And this is very harmful to health.

According to the global treatment center, a woman giving birth should take responsibility for her own birth. This reduces the risk of getting infections that may be common in the hospital.

Most likely, childbirth at home also strengthens the child’s health, because he is born at the right time, and not at the discretion of the obstetrician.

This mother from Australia decided to demonstrate by her own example how to give birth naturally.

“This has been my long-time dream,” says this woman. One day she was walking in the Daintree Forest, in northeastern Australia, and noticed a wonderful stream there. “It was the cleanest and most amazing river I have ever seen.”

Her contractions started at night. She stayed in the bathhouse in her garden until 10 am, then went to this stream.

While the children were playing nearby, she lay on a rug next to the water. The birth went very quickly: by 10:50 am she was already holding her baby girl in her arms.

The birth of a child is a celebration for the whole family. How the process goes depends largely on the mother. Modern couples have the opportunity to plan in advance the place and time of a joyful event. Spouses get acquainted with the conditions of maternity hospitals and medical staff, however, some parents choose to give birth in nature. The environment and conditions of birth are considered an argument in favor of such activity. A person comes into our world away from city noise and smog. There is no fuss around. Everyone is calm and impatiently waiting for the baby with friendly faces.

pros

A woman giving birth naturally is in a familiar environment. Comfort is of great importance. An unfamiliar environment is not scary. There are no crying, moaning women in labor nearby. The expectant mother feels like she is the owner of the process; she does not have to obey the orders of the medical staff. On the one hand, this is a huge advantage, on the other hand it can be considered a disadvantage. The obstetrician tells you what and how to do; not every woman is able to be aware of this during uterine contractions.

Allergic reactions often occur in maternity hospitals. They can be avoided at home. Within 9 months, the immune system of a woman in labor gets used to the surrounding microorganisms. They become safe and familiar. Whereas sick leave is considered foreign.

A woman gives birth outdoors in a comfortable position. Takes the position automatically, feeling relief from the position. In most maternity hospitals, labor takes place on a chair in the “supine” position. It is painful, unnatural, but convenient for obstetricians.

When giving birth in a natural environment, a woman takes the baby carefully and treats him with love. In clinics, this moment depends on the mood of the medical staff. Also, inexperienced movement can cause injury.

When a baby is born in a hospital, he is immediately given vaccinations and treated with chemicals. Having appeared in the forest, near the water, the child is protected from such actions. Some manipulations are considered harmful, but are actively imposed by medicine.

There is an opinion that the umbilical cord does not need to be cut until the placenta is delivered. All the blood should flow to the baby. The organ is important for harmonious life and strengthening the immune system. The child is deprived of all this if the cutting off occurs earlier.

Childbirth in nature takes place in a calm environment; natural birth does not require stimulation. No chemicals are used, the baby is born in its own unique, natural rhythm. No one rushes mom with the word “push.” The suffering and tears of other women in labor are not a distraction. There is an aura filled with positive energy all around.

Minuses

The birth of a child can take place in nature if the mother does not have any concomitant diseases or abnormalities. Often the natural birth process ends with surgical intervention. “On the grass” such actions are unacceptable. The lives of mother and baby will be at risk.

Flaws:

1. unsanitary conditions;
2. risk to the health of the mother and child;
3. lack of midwifery skills;
4. there is no equipment for when you need it.

If the baby does not come out for a long time, the obstetrician will tell the woman in labor what to do and how to breathe correctly. If necessary, connect the devices. To avoid ruptures, the incision will be made in a timely manner. Blood loss during labor will be minimal.

Hospitals have a sterile environment. The father, present at the birth, puts on a disposable suit; there are no unnecessary items nearby. When a baby is born urgently outside of a maternity hospital, even ordinary water may not be available.

Natural childbirth in nature takes place under conditions of increased risk of injury. We should not forget about the incorrect position of the fetus. Mom will not be able to turn it inside on her own.

Often the painful sensations become unbearable. Massage manipulations aimed at reducing pain do not help. The woman does not respond to her husband’s soothing voice and loses consciousness. A situation arises that requires the connection of special equipment. It doesn’t exist in the natural environment, and it’s a long way to get to the hospital. Therefore, when choosing a place for a child to appear in this world, weigh the pros and cons.

Stages of labor

In order for a woman not to be afraid of an approaching event, she needs to clearly imagine how it will pass. There will be no medical staff nearby who can advise or provide assistance. All manipulations will have to be performed independently. Therefore, you should prepare carefully. Labor will take place in 3 stages: preparatory, pushing, delivery of the placenta.

How women give birth in nature:

• prepare physically and mentally for the upcoming event;
• push, choosing a comfortable position;
• push out the placenta;
• cut off the umbilical cord.

When unpleasant urges begin in the lower abdomen, the baby is preparing for birth. The soreness will slowly increase. Keep count of contractions. The intervals between them are equal periods of time. There is no need to accelerate the increase in contractions. The cervix will not have time to open, and a rupture will occur. In the natural environment there will be no one to sew it.

When wave-like contractions occur every 3 minutes, the woman in labor begins correct breathing tactics. A deep breath alternates with a slow exhalation. The child moves “to freedom”, pressure is felt on the pelvic floor. If a woman gives birth in water, the liquid smoothes out the pain.

The baby's head appears, then the shoulders and the whole body. The process goes quickly, the mother takes the baby in her arms and holds her close. A little time to rest, then the placenta comes out with a powerful push. A woman cuts the umbilical cord. Further actions are dictated by environmental conditions. If there is water nearby, the woman in labor will wash the baby and wrap the baby in the prepared cloth.

When labor takes place naturally, the presence of a loved one nearby is very important. Mom will be psychologically calm. When a child is born, he will see both parents at once. The act of “imprinting” will occur. The word “family” will turn out to be not just a sound, but a single whole on a deep, spiritual level.
