WELCOME T0 PROTECT BABIES - Please browse down the Contents. This web site supports science-based-facts of the birth process. No lies. No deception. No false medical reasons to rob a baby of its placenta and cord blood. This site opposes myths and fears for reasons of doing unsafe medical practices on newborn babies. Such risk-taking is the drugging of the mothers during labor. This is being encouraged in most hospitals rather then the mother being educated to birth in gravity positions or using warm water baths to prevent tearing and help relax the muscles for child-bearing. The mother, in most cases, even with university training, is not well educated in the birth process or the purpose of increasing strength in contractions. With knowledge and the use of safer methods of control of contractions, and the avoidance of the use of drugs is known to cut down the risk of the mother needing a c-section, or begging for one, or being told she has an incompetent cervix, thus, her body was not made to deliver babies, normally!!!! HOG WASH, in most instances. Women simply have been exploited. The drugging of the mother, and the endangering to herself and her baby in hospitals, is called "active management." The art and following intuition for natural child birth is not likely offered or shared to the expectant mother during any of her prenatal classes. Most of the prenatal classes are being controlled by the government and its medical agents. Many such courses are taught by registered-nurses who are not specifically trained on the infant's circulation system. The circulation of the system of the fetus is not standard training. The nurses are not specifically trained to have knowledge that "all" drugs cross the placenta. Nor to tell the mother she can legally asks for testing of her baby's urine or a sample of blood cells taken from the placenta, to confirm the drugs were in her baby at birth, causing the suspicions of many latent and internal damage to her child. Urine tests can also be, on the mother's request, used for PKU tests . There is never a real need to put a needle into the baby's system, at all, during birth, or after birth, in most instances. Particularly, not with informed consent and other options made known. Often the c-sections are not told to the naive expecting mother that they are a major operation carrying risks to both mother and child. Not only is there risk of death to both, but often both come out of the hospital with infections. Those guiding the prenatal classes fail to tell the mother the next time she is expecting, she is likely going to have a c-section, again. But fail to tell the reasons why. Much of that repeat c-section is depending on the cut and the manner of stitching. This is seldom discussed or the intentions of the surgeon to do immediate clamping on the child's lifeline often the real cause of IRDS . Often the nurses are trained to promote the safety of the drugs offered the mother and the safety of the c-section, stating, "25 percent of you here, in this course, will likely have a c-section." This is mentally preparing the mother for the acceptance of a c-section rather than preparing her how to avoid one, in the first place. One good way is to labor at home as long as possible. Rent a room near a hospital and leave just in time to have the baby, that is what I did for my second birth, and I would have for the first birth, too, had the doctor not encouraged I go into the hospital for the breaking of the water. Such information is NOT allowed at the government controlled prenatal classes. On review of private prenatal classes, I have serious concerns that LaMaze , is now associated with cord blood banks. Of the prenatal classes I looked into, there is no teaching of the art of management of an emergency birth such as leaving the baby's umbilical cord alone, and wrapping the baby and the placenta in a warm towel, and keeping the baby in tact, not tying or clamping, or severing the cord, at all. At least, not until the mother is satisfied the baby has received all blood transfusion from the placenta, and all pulsation had ceased, ideally, the placenta expelled before any invasive touching of the child's lifeline. This is true for all babies, whenever, or however delivered. It is a common concern that children born with drugs and/or by c-sections and who have had hasty clamping are not going to have the optimal health and all natural abilities, and all organs and cells working on all cylinders, so to speak. This is when you compare these violated children to those not so afflicted by the poor birth management and treatment. The facts are there are billions of dollars, if not trillions, to be made by the medical fields by those mother imposed on by what is called the hospital's method of "active management." Most of the medical personnel are now trained to not be critical of what they are being taught and why. Following "active management" which is the use of drugs, is imposed and with intent and without choice of the mother, is immediate to early umbilical cord clamping. A clamp is put on the child's still pulsating umbilical cord within 30 seconds of its birth. Some babies have their cord clamped when only their head is born, or shoulders, and the babies are caused to gag by syringe bulbs put down their throats, and their lungs are not even expanded to take in air. The mother then is subjected to injections of Oxytocin. |
