Deciding About Interventions

Spinning Babies <p>You can aid your chance of a vaginal birth by activities before and during childbirth to make room for your baby. Easier birth for babies means easier birth for mothers. I ask women making decisions about their pregnancy and birth a question to help them know their own minds. "If you imagine yourself a year from now, looking back at your birth, what will you feel about the decision." "Will you feel you did what satisfies you that you did the best of your ability to live the way you believe?" Your ability might be expressed in one or more of these ways:</p> Your ability to communicate your desires to your partner, family, and medical support. You said the words that would let your birth team know your preferences You took a reasonable amount of action that would bring about health, flexibility and birth the way you see fit. You said no to things that made you uncomfortable that they might betray your ethics or better sense, that reduce your vitality or self-connection. You said yes to people and things that seem likely to help you, even if they are unusual - unusual but not wrong, against nature, against common sense, or in denial of a health risk that may reasonably need medical assistance. You made changes to obtain the opportunities where you could express your best birth. <p>Now you are ready to make a decision. You will not be a victim but a creator of your future. Decision Time. Whatever you decide, whatever course you choose, the most important thing is love.</p> Enjoy this post?

The New Face of America’s Breech Experts

Many hospital systems have taken to denying their doctors give vaginal breech birth care for families carrying breech babies. These are physicians who’ve devoted their lives to giving excellent obstetrical care. I believe they have a right to provide that care. I believe midwives who obtain the added expertise also have the right to provide […]

Face Presentation

Some of us like to face the music, face the facts, turn to the light, face life full on… The baby who is coming face first, or face presentation, most often is born fine in this position. There may be a little slow down after ten centimeters which can be helped by standing in a […]

FYI, F. L. I. Is Knee High

How high the couch? Inverting safely Anisa asked, “Can anyone guide me about Forward-leaning inversion? What should be the height of the couch from which we are going to lean downwards.” The answer is within… Or, rather on you? It’s the height of your knee.
