UNASSISTED BIRTH
CHECK LIST WHEN CHOOSING AN OB/CAREER
1 what is there C-section rate and if Hi WHY???
2, Are they Hypnobirthing / Naturalbirthing / Hands off friendly ???
3, What is there intervention rate?
4, Look at there eyes when you take in your birth plan as this will answer 1,2,3,& 4 if they have not answered it before!!
5, If your not keen on hospitals can you check out after 6 hour if everything goes to plan?
6, always remember you have rights…you can change / sack your caregiver even 2 weeks out of due date ..your body,your birth.
Don’t buy into fear based information, and trust your body it made a baby, it can finish the job..most water births are unassisted WHY? because your body is left to do what it needs…dry births are more likely to have interventions from my experience.
EDUCATION FROM THE RIGHT SOURCES IS THE KEY
I did hypnobirthing for my sencod daughter and I have to say that, while it didn’t actually get put to much use during the birth for various reasons, I felt like it really really helped me during the pregnancy. I think that the stress and worry and uncomfortable-ness slowly build-up and can make life pretty miserable before you realize what is happening. The hypnobirthing techniques were a great way to keep that all in check. I’ve recommended my midwife to so many friends since then. I’m sure that you are going to find its definitely worth the time (and money).
