WEB SITES TO CONSIDER FOR YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND
THESE GUIDELINES FOR WHEN YOU DO:
Read between the line of all web sites:
Ponder what is missing? Usually it is the drugs given the mother, that cause jaundice in babies
and other unnecessary interventions. Ask
yourself, do you intend to abort the baby if it is not developing, perfectly? Then why the ultrasounds,
when there are unknown risks that
may be lifelong, and latent to your child...and so many of them?
Research on Women and Babies
:
Most research were imposed on the trusting mother and not given all the facts and choices. Much
research was done in limited choice
range, such as do you want your baby's cord clamped immediately at birth or 30 seconds later? That
is deceptive means of consent, it
is NOT really informed consent as no choice of no clamping was told the mother to cause no harm to her
baby. Example, the Lotus
Birth is a gentle birth once the mothers are educated to respect the birth organ of the baby, the placenta
and the cord. Only the Lotus care
of the umbilical cord assures the baby of no hospital air-borne disease getting into the baby's system
by a clamped and then cut cord.
This was likely the method, no clamping no cutting practiced before there were nurses, doctors, or knowledge
of drugs or the invention of
the clamp.

To look at one type of clamp that the doctor's use, go to this web site:
look at the vicious clamp.
It is as bad as circumcision clamping a functioning organ. It is torture for the child.
This clamp is another type:
3) MOTHERS ARE DECEIVED ABOUT WHAT IS NOT PAIN TO THE INFANT
: The NeoNotes Journal Club
The collection of the infant's deprived blood, is true, there is no pain. Not to the mother. This is because the blood is drained from the
placenta, which is the baby's organ. The largest collection of the baby's deprived blood
is done while the placenta is still in the mother's
womb. The warmth of the blood flowing faster within 7 minutes. If the placenta is first
expelled, then the draining of the blood is 20
minutes. This is because the placenta and blood in it are now cold.

4) The Collection of umbilical cord blood before or after placental delivery by HCJM
Jacobs, HHH Kanhai, JM van Beckhoven, A Brand,
JHF Falkenburg EuroCord Nederland Foundation; Department of Obstetrics of the Leiden University Medical
Center; Blood Bank
Leidsenhage; Leiden, The Netherlands Umbilical cord blood (UCB) can be collected inside the delivery
room during the 3rd stage of
labour
(in utero collection)
or outside the delivery room after placental delivery (
ex utero collection
).
5) THE FOLLOWING WEB SITE ARE EUROCORD. THEY ARE NOT SPARING THE BLOOD FROM THE BABIES
. Umbilical cord
blood (UCB) can be collected inside the delivery room during the 3rd stage of labour (in utero collection)
or outside the delivery room
after placental delivery (ex utero collection)..
The 3rd stage of labour was prolonged for in utero collections probably because in these cases
no active efforts were made by the
obstetrician to induce delivery of the placenta. Blood loss was similar after both collection methods
If collection was performed in utero no
pro blems were experienced by the mother, most women did not notice the collection at all. In conclusion,
in the in utero group high
volumes (>100 ml) were collected more frequently, but overall the volumes are similar for both groups.

.
BY G. Bries2, B. Spitz1, A. Uyttebroeck3, M. Boogaerts2; Dept. 1Obstetrics,2Hematology, 3Pediatrics,
University Hospital
Gasthuisberg, Leuven, Belgium.Umbilical cord blood represents a unique source of transplantable hematopoietic
progenitor cells.
The establishment of umbilical cord blood banks might alleviate some of the problems associated with
conventional bone marrow
transplantation. It is important for cord blood banks to put forward provisions addressing the respect
for and the protection of the infant
and the parents. ....In conclusion our data support the clinical safety of the cord blood procedure,
while the donor retrieval program poses
no ethical disconcern.

8) HOME BIRTH:
This web site is a total control of the mother in a home birth. The only decision they have to make
is whether the mother shall catch the
baby or the father. She is not stress with decisions of induced labor to meet a busy hospitals cost
factor when the baby will come. She
and the baby are together and when baby is ready she is ready at home, her older children can watch
or not watch and this story is good

9) FACTS WHEN CORD BLOOD WAS FIRST USED IN TRANSFUSIONS
:
I believe 1939 was the first published use of cord for transfusion purposes.
One paper was from a malaria-infested area of Israel (then Palestine). TheCB was used since the
placenta acted as a barrier against
malarial transmission to the infant. The other paper in the same issue describes
cord blood collection in Britain for transfusion purposes. See: Halbrecht, J. The Lancet, Jan
28, 1939, p.202.
Page, A.B.M., et al. The Lancet, Jan 28, 1939, p.200.
I am not aware of published reports of cord blood use (for transfusion purposes) before that time.

subject: cord blood history was cord blood from infants sent to blood registries rather then wasted,
even starting in the First World War??? Or what was the earliest date infant cord blood was
look at the comment after the article. This is very relevant to the cord clamping issue.
11) The American Academy of Pediatrics
, have put out a policy statement. It is a warning yet it is not. My comment on it while
they
mention the iron deficiencies caused by immediate clamping, their point was if the parents are having
their own child's cord clamped to
store blood for the future needs of the child, don't, store it in the private cord blood banks. They
are recommending the child's blood be
used immediately for others, so to store it in the public blood banks. I have a tendency to read
between the lines. Some concerns by
pediatrics on icc or hasty clamping see web site:
It simply does NOT say no to hasty clamping or
speak about full delayed or no clamping, at all, as being the mother's right to know about.
12) RESOURCE VIDEO:
A good resource video, of which I have a personal copy, that gives information on choices for woman
is this video, Birthing the Future.
Email contact is :
13) MEDICAL DEFENSE WEB SITE TO HASTY CLAMPING:
Some of the doctors, both Canadian and American, have used the (American) MD Consult services to give
themselves a defense and a
justification of their rights over their patient's will for their child, for no invasive medical practices
or unnecessary ones performed on their
child. The doctors are using doctors overrule constitutional rights of informed protection to their
baby, see: Gabbe: Obstetrics - Normal
and Problem Pregnancies, 3rd ed. For his comments and opinion on cord clamping visit:
You may have to pay a subscription but sometimes MD Consult gives some days for free use. Apply
as they direct you.
14) Unassisted Birth
:-
Good non-invasive births non-assisted births can happen. One unassisted birthing mother is Laura
Shanley. Email her at:
Good non-invasive births have happened with help from well trained direct entry midwives, too: this
is one of those true stories: this is the
same web site as no. 47. This woman lives on Bowen is.,B.C.. lotus birth story: beautiful!- as shared
with us by glorious, proud, wise
Karen love.
15) EDUCATIONAL DOLL
This doll is a good education tool. It can help educate students in health and personal development. This is for planning a family, to teach
how all drugs, whatever there source cross the placenta. Take a look at this doll at this
web site:

this doll as a diagram of the circulation system and the placenta and its cord with the vein and
two arteries.
