Jennifer Margulis and Suzanne Arms on why America has the worst maternal mortality in the developed world—and how home birth could save both mothers and babies"
Good Lord, first vaxxing, now this. My mind is blown anew every day. I really hadn't gone here yet but Lord I wish I could go back in time and start over. I always thought, thank goodness I was in a hospital bc my 28 yr old had to be in the NICU for three days. but in reality, he likely struggled bc my doc insisted that I needed to be induced but then my son's lungs weren't fully functioning. And that's just the beginning of that story (my next baby was induced too. it wasn't until my third that I got to experience going into labor naturally).
I had both of mine at home. The 1st time had a midwife. She insisted I lay on my back and she clamped the cord immediately. 2nd time I just did it alone with my husband. 2nd was MUCH better. Sometimes, midwives do dangerous things that are done at the hospital.
Yeah, I decided no midwife route seeing how they were always the worst part of birth videos. They ruin the experience and are just as medicalized (or more). I had 3 great births all without midwives, just me and my husband. One was breech and it was my easiest. So glad I heard of free birth and did it from the start.
SMART woman!!!! BRAVO!! My daughter had a midwife who demanded she had to go to the hospital (and have a caesarean) because her baby was breech. NIGHTMARE! The hospital vaccinated my daughter WITHOUT her knowledge or consent, (and even with specific instruction of "NO VACCINES"). She's been suffering terrible health challenges ever since, and not enjoying her new baby boy the way she SHOULD be.
I warned her that the inherent risks of caesarean birth are FAR worse than the risks that go with a natural/vaginal breech birth. She didn't listen to me, and now has to deal with the vaccine injury on top of everything else. AARHHG! I KNEW all of this and I TOLD HER.
God bless you for doing the right thing for yourself and your precious babies. Hospitals are DEATH FACTORIES! And the newest breed of midwives are trained by the system to FINK on you to the authorities (like CPS) if you don't do exactly as they tell you to, PLUS they're trained by murderous doctors to send their patients to the hospital, EVEN when nothing is actually wrong.
I'm so happy to see this article. It galls me that women give birth on their back, it's sadistic. Not just to the mother who endures longer labor but to the baby trying to get out like that. The head of the baby is supposed to put pressure on the pelvis and make the bone softer for the baby to slip through but that doesn't happen without the pressure from gravity. I wish women stopped listening to males for anything to do with birthing and women's reproductive problems. Men just cannot know these things.
I have always been so sad about my second child - a precious daughter who, after being born 'sunny side up' THEY told me that they needed to take her to the nursery because she was cold. How STUPID was I to not say GIVE HER TO ME I CAN WARM HER UP!!! I was a complete white coat worshiper and total vaxxer. I have learned my lesson the hard way - at the expense of my children. Please everyone - do NOT put your faith in the white coats who are mostly in the business to make money.
We have four or five generations of women who are mal-nourished, sun deficient, environmentally poisoned, vaxxed, and EMF'd, and often on meds throughout their lives.
Each generation is weaker and sicker than the one before it.
Is the home environment safe and sound? Supportive?
How many women are taking meds such as psychotropic drugs or endocrine disruptors during pregnancy?
What does that do to our ability to have healthy pregnancies, deliveries, and healthy babies? What does that do to hormones, reproductive organs, circulation, and bone health (such as bones in the pelvic area)?
Throw in the CV 19 injections of poisons...
And... hospitals are the most hazardous place to be next to an actual war zone.
I read not so long ago that the caesarean section was popularised way back when because women who had Rickets (frank Vitamin-D3 deficiency) in childhood had undersized pelvic openings. When they got rid of the smog the urgent need diminished but with increasing sterile procedures the safety improved and many lives were saved in emergencies.
I found the following paper that records the history and mentions the connection with Rickets as if it was of little importance while it was the then prevailing cause of the deformed pelvises.
How wonderful. I totally agree. My daughters were both born at home, we read the books "Birth Reborn - Michel Odent", "Birth Without Violence - Frederick Leboyer" and "Spiritual Midwifery - Ina May Gaskin". According to Michel Odent the best statistics (least birth interventions) were in Holland where homebirth was standard practice. They simply parked a special medical vehicle at the front of the house in case of emergencies.
Each woman is individual. Each situation is unique. Each situation needs to be evaluated for risk factors.
Quick stories:
A relative was in labor many hours. The midwives insisted everything was okay. Not okay. Baby died. This was one year ago. (mom non-vaxx)
Another relative was pregnant with twins. She felt like she needed to go to the hospital which was over one hour's drive in sub-zero temperature weather. Her doctor refused to come to the hospital. The nurses were going to send her home. The on-call doctor checked on her. She felt something was wrong and did a C-Section. The mom had ruptured with much bleeding. Had the doctor not been so intuitive and attentive, all three would have died. This was also one year ago. (not sure of mom's vaxx status)
A close friend is a midwife in California. She's had very extensive training and experience. She and her team no longer do home deliveries. They have a birthing center, well equipped for any kind of problem. I suspect much of this is because of California's medical and political policies. I think the midwives have to cover every possible anything for legal reasons.
I had four deliveries. Two vaginal and two C-section. First son was 3 weeks overdue and was induced. The Pitocin dose given was way too high. Miserable labor and delivery. I believe this was damaging to my son forever after.
My second son was saved by emergency C-Section, very competent doctor. My son was nearly nine pounds, double-footling breech, with the cord wrapped around his neck four times. He had tried to turn several times I am aware of. The cord stopped him from re-positioning himself. He would not have been able to deliver vaginally.
Son number three was vaginal delivery following C-Section. Son number four was breech, C-Section, stupid doctor.
So many people in our lives tell us they “would have died” if not for medical intervention. But we don’t know that, even if the said dangerous situation was actually occurring and dangerous, we can never know really that so many others would have certainly died. That itself is a strong tie to the authority of the medical system. They “know” when we would have died without them, and they always tell us, and still many free thinkers don’t challenge that thought.
Good Lord, first vaxxing, now this. My mind is blown anew every day. I really hadn't gone here yet but Lord I wish I could go back in time and start over.

OMGoodness!
Hospitals are for the injured, not the unwell or the unborn.
Well-stated.

Some things to consider:

Each generation is weaker and sicker than the one before it.

Can I go back in time and get a redo? Thanks for the great info.
So many of us would like that.
I wish I'd not been bamboozled coerced made to feel like a commodity
Horrendous experience of my first birth
And slight improvement on second
IE much less intervention
Both in hospital
I'd advocate for home birth EVERY SINGLE TIME
NOW I KNOW WHAT SATANIC NEFARIOUS ACTS THEY GET UP TO IN THE HOSPITALS IN THE NAME OF PROFIT
LOOK UP IT JEANICE BARCELO'S BOOK OF BIRTH THE DARK SIDE OF ( SIMILAR TITLE.
I love Jeanice Barcelo !
Spare a thought for UK freedom of expression

Excellent article- also make similar points in my homebirth documentary: https://katywmejia.com/birth-from-the-earth/
Wish we knew then what we know now...

Home birth for (mostly) everyone! Fantastic post!
