I think the natural birth group are trying to sell something that doesn't normally exist with the silent birth videos. I knew it wouldn't be like that and it wasn't. I also knew I needed to demand a natural birth from the doctor. The whole birth thing is messed up in the world, I agree. I like the idea of birth centers but they don't exist everywhere. That way they are not around sick people and they are still safe.

No, not in the world. Not here, and not in Scandinavia either if I remember correctly. And sure there will be more countries like mine.
And yes, birth centres are cool. We got them here as well.

I read two articles today on the human mating season. FELEPIPHANY Which was originally thought to be in the June- July period.

But science now says this is a myth.
That it really heats up for most humans around December - February.
*Depending on the region we live in*
This is based on the MOST recorded pregnancies.

Now.. It's spring. And who else is feeling it NOW ? blushing


It's scientific fact that human mating season is between January 1st to December 31. Of course I suppose it would depend on what calendar you go by.

I thought relationships were at their worst during end of year/new year and isn't that when most break ups happen?

I went to a small midwife-run centre with around 10 beds after two births. I was able to stay for a couple of days. The staff looked after our babies while the mums had meals together. We shared a room with one other mum and they gave us hot chocolate before bed at night. What a wonderful place - we were so well looked after and had time to get to know and enjoy our babies, recover from the birth and be helped with breastfeeding etc. These places are too few and far between though and I know many mums don't have that sort of opportunity.

I wonder how many women have stories about birth where the main problem is the treatment of others towards her. I did not expect to be treated worse as a woman while pregnant, during birth and after as a mother. But I can assure anyone that it is worse not better and that I've been really shocked about it. I think modern culture does not respect life or those who give life.

Depends on the country you live in. First of all the level of healthcare in that country and of course norms and values regarding pregnancies and delivery.

Over here it was quite normal for women to deliver their babies at home, in their own bed. In the presence of a midwife - which is a fully trained professional, not some old lady from the village - assisted by a maternity assistant.
After birth there are regular checkups by the midwife, both baby and mother. And the maternity assistant comes over full-time for a week to help out the new family. This is covered by healthcare.
So during and after giving birth, you're in your own bed, in your own home, your own bedroom.

These days women are more scared, thinking it isn't safe to deliver at home. Americanism seeping into our culture. Most now go to hospital to give birth, still natural childbirth though, no painkillers, unless it's necessary.

I think the Netherlands and Scandinavian countries still have real good care concerning pregnancy and birth etc.
Most of the world seems to be awkward about it, regarding it as a scary thing, like a dis-ease, requiring doctors and tranquilizers and shrieking, screaming women. Such a shame, creating life, giving birth to new life is Divine!


I would of LOVED to have been given choices.. how I wanted to do it ( like walking around & squatting) & to be able to choice to have a female relative in the room. And to have midwives.
I'm hoping for change for the future & more comfortable choices for women.
But in the USA it is ALL about the doctors/hospitals/ insurance companies, lawsuits and money... & NOT making the laboring mom comfortable. She is ' Just another patient having a short procedure ' & booted out of the hospital in less than 24 hours & is on her own!

My daughter (2nd) was born within 1,5 hrs... So the contractions and pain was rather overwhelming, esp lower back, bluddy ell! Water broke 4.30 AM and she's born 5.06AM. (In my family deliveries tend to start with the water breaking, then getting contractions at some point, not the other way round.)
I didn't lay down till about 15 mins before her birth. And I didn't lay on my back till the head was nearly crowning, so my husband could massage my lower back, to counter the pain there.
So I think some 10 mins before she was born I lay on my back, had to, you gotta open your legs at some point, right, lol. But most of the time I was hanging on the window sill or a wall, wobbling on my legs during contractions the way I had learnt, to ease the pain. If the midwife hadn't told me I had to lay down, I wouldn't have. I was just one with my body, the turmoil inside it, and the pain, dealing with that all. But she was totally cool. While I was taking care of myself, the midwife was running around, keeping a close eye on me all the time, boiling water (I still do NOT know why they boil water, lol), my husband was doing stuff as well, told by the midwife what to do. In the midst of all that organised chaos, I was doing my thing. When the contractions were bad, the midwife would come to me, rub my back, after that went on with her business.
Normally the maternity nurse does most of the prep work, but because it all went so fast, she hadn't gotten there yet. Meaning the midwife had to do it herself with help from my hubby. The maternity nurse came in some 10 minutes before my girl was born, she'd almost missed it. laugh

I even helped to gently pull my daughter out when her head and shoulders were born. The midwife told me I could if I wanted to, then hold her when she was completely born. And yes, I did want to! So I carefully helped her get born with my hands, laid back with her on my chest once she was born :)
So I put her on this world in every sense of the word!! Very grateful that the midwife let me do that!

I cut the umbilical cord myself. My husband had cut my son's cord, and I wanted to feel what it was like. It's the done thing over here that the new daddy cuts the umbilical cord, but we had agreed upfront that this time I would.

Absolute wonderful experience!

Correct it is regional. For example winters in Africa are not the same time as in the USA. As humans/ animals, we adapt to the environment, seasons & food supply.
So ' harvest season ' (plentiful) would be the breeding season/ couplings & winter for pregnancy & summer the ' birthing season ' .
It may ensure that our species continues.

Only what I have seen in documentaries. Where they claim it is LESS traumatic for the infant. Going from amniotic fluid to water.
I believe if The Creator wanted us to give birth in the water we would be living in water.
After all the infant has to breath like a human anyway. think . Why force a newborn to adapt more than it already has to.

i don't imagine it being any more or less traumatic for the baby, except of course in complicated deliveries...
otherwise, i mostly thought it helped the mom more in the labor process...

I was 8 days overdue with my first born. And 2 OBG-YN's adviced I go swimming to induce labor. Sure enough.. 2 hours later, I had contractions 5 min apart. I think the change in gravity is very relaxing & takes the pressure off the mom, carrying all that weight.

True humans reproduce thru out the year but that is more of a consequence of ' choosing ' to have sex whenever we desire. Instead of a ' silent bell' going off & the ' need to breed ' feeling or timing like the rest of the animal kingdom.



Power of choice (& logic) is one of the main reasons that we are set apart / & above other animals.

* Silent. bell - is used to describe the 'need to breed' in the animal kingdom. And MANY women will say they themselves have felt this when the desire/ need to have a baby is almost overwhelming* bigsmile

If breeding season were monthly than everyone woman would voluntarily or involuntarily have a child every 9-12 months.
I would assume 12 cycles increases our chances of conception.
There are so many things that can interfere with a woman's ovulation.
Travel
Famine
Physical strain
Stress
Hormone changes
Weight loss & gain

Even female athletes, like runners & weight lifters stop menstruating. It is too much strain on the body to reproduce.
And since it takes the average couple 4-12 months to concieve. Human females may need those 12 chances.
And of course not all men are fertile, all the time either. They only produce fresh sperm approx., every other day or so (not sure exactly?). * Fertility experts recommend sex, every other day , unless the woman is in ovulation.. then daily *
Too much heat on a man's gentiles , tight clothes, alcohol, drugs etc.. effect them as well.
