What Is Holistic Pregnancy?

This is about having a natural birth according to nature. Nature has a specific way of getting things done, and when we abide by these laws, we will have an optimal outcome. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with pregnancy, and it’s important to know the ins and outs for optimal results.

The Problems With Medicalized Birth

Dorsal lithotomy position-

This is the modern day birthing position done in hospitals. It was developed by Louie the 14th because he liked to watch women give birth. The women had to pull a sheet up so they couldn’t see him. This is the worst possible position in terms of pelvic position. Squatting opens the anterior and posterior pelvis the most, and is the way our ancestors did it.

Baby monitors-

The C-section rate had sky rocketed after these were introduced. The maternal mortality rate has also doubled in the last few decades. No research has done to show these are effective. As a matter of fact, it’s the opposite. They also produce a ton of EMF that is going right through the baby.

Epidural-

25% of the time, these cause a fever in the mother. Then the baby would have to get a work up for sepsis because they don’t know if it has an infection or not.

Inductions-

Artificially inducing birth is usually not a good idea. The baby is supposed to come out when it’s done. The longer it’s in, the more the brain grows. You wouldn’t want to take bread out of the oven before it’s done. The baby needs to finish in the womb not outside.

C- sections-

When a baby is born vaginally, it gets seeded with the mothers microbes, which serves as the foundation of its immune system for the rest of its life. These have their place for emergency situations, but should not be used for convenience.

Cord clampping-

When a baby is born, it’s going through profound changes in the heart and the lungs. To go through these changes, the baby needs an accessory oxygen supply from the umbilical cord, which is a live organ. Waiting 3-5 minutes will allow all the blood from the placenta to transfer to the baby.

Circumcision–

John Harvey Kellogg, the inventor of Kelloggs cereal, had another strange invention. He was very bullish on reducing sexual pleasure because he believed it to be the root cause of disease. He was the main reason why circumcision started in the United States. The purpose of the foreskin is increased sensitivity, protection, less friction during sex, and immunity. We have had an intact penis for 100,000 of years. All of the sudden, it’s a mistake that the creator made?
