Which we d...Trust Birth is the same as trust life. Which we do whether we have a child in a hospital or home. I have had two hospital births. One was easy and mostly pain free with a wonderful midwife and the other well I'm still trying to get over it. Even the Dr. wasn't sure he could save me. All the medical help in the hospital they had and it was still not in thier hands. Let's face it there are many times Dr's do all they can do and still something happens. I've had good midwives and I've had ones that well I'll just will be kind and leave it at that. I've had good kind caring gentle Dr's and I have had one that wanted to use a KMart bag to do an gyn exam b/c she didn't have a non latex glove and wouldn't send out for one. The point is Dr's are human and they make mistakes too! It isn't all in the science of it. I believe in science and I don't believe everything I hear that someone did a study on. There are pros and cons to everything. Who can say one way is the only way. You can't not and be honest. You can't say all hospital births go well either. Mistakes happens there too. I started out the second time with a homebirth and something inside of me said nope go to the hospital. So I trusted birth I trusted my inner knowing. This isn't religion here it is something we all have. Animals trust it b/c that is all they have. We forget sometimes that we have it. Why would any Dr. think that they have the power to make a person live or die. They don't they do all they know how and the rest is up to Nature. No one can know 100% of the time that the homebirth that didn't make it would have made it in a hospital. They might have and they might have not. I believe that no one dies early we all go at the exact moment we are suppose to and not a second sooner. Science does prove that. Why would anyone get upset with Trust Birth. Dr's trust it all the time they have to trust the body and trust their intuition and trust life. When they can't do anything they have to trust that whatever happens was meant to be. Drugs aren't always the answer (drug companies want you to believe it) and being drug free might not always be the answer either. Why can't we just know that there is a balance. Maybe the balance is to let everyone choose what is best for themselves. That is a new concept ! Freedom of choice. No one has to bash anyone. No one way is the Right way. Everyone and everything has a purpose here. If you want to get into science then get into it enough to know that most all disease is caused by the mind. Why would placebo's work?? Trust Birth - humans are the only species on the planet that don't trust Birth. Trust life well every time you drive a car you do and every time you eat out you do. Every time you take a breath you DO! I trusted Birth!and I still knew I needed to go to the hospital. Because I needed to.! I am not against hospital births. What I am saying is trust your innate intuition. Let everyone have that same choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
