Natural Birthing; Principles and Remedies
I just recently attended a Womyn’s Summit with about 35 local birth-workers last weekend. There were Doulas, Midwives, birth attendants, and even a native elder (Sister Morningstar) from Missouri who champions “hands off” births. Sister told of a beautiful story where she was attending a birth with new Mom with a footling breach who’d just arrived at the hospital. The babe’s foot was clearly dangling from Mom’s birth canal. When the woman asked Sister Morningstar what to do, she simply replied,”Hang on to baby’s foot and relax.” By the time the Emergency Medical team could be summoned, baby was already safely born into her Momma’s arms without the aid of any medical personnelle or even the interfering hands of her mid-wife...

Closing Quote
Dear ,

Were you given Pitocin intravenously when you gave birth? Were you warned of the potential negative consequences? No? Most women aren’t. 

Our first article, by guest birthkeeper, Ana Aleksic, speaks to why you might want to reconsider falsely inducing labor in healthy mommas. It’s known to promote contractions so unnaturally frequent and powerful that it can actually cause harm, inducing shock to both mom and babe. Read about how the manufacturer of Pitocin actually warns of unwanted side-effects in typical births.

As well, if you and baby received Pitocin, did you remember to put this event on both of your sequential timelines of traumas? Pitocin is not natural oxytocin and qualifies as a toxic drug to address along with the fentanyl, bupivacaine, or lidocaine in the spinal epidural, plus any antibiotics and/or tylenol or morphine post C-section. On that last note, the C-section trauma also needs to be addressed physically, along with the invasive emotional breach your body and mind will have perceived.

We’ve also included a second blog to help prepare for a natural birth in an environment wholly resonant for you. Did you know that we provide homeopathic remedies for mommas who chose to give birth in birthing centres, at home, or even in lakes and rivers with their chosen birth support? 

More and more women are choosing to free-birth their babes more like nature has prompted us for thousands of years - in a quiet, totally comfortable environment with all the amenities we need, with those we love, feeling wholly supported to enable us to naturally open to this powerful and cathartic rite of passage.

Love,

Ally and Jeff
The Dangers of Pitocin for Elective Labor Induction
This Pitocin is a synthetic form of oxytocin. Doctors recommend Pitocin in 40% of pregnancies for artificially “starting” labor. Yet, the manufacturer of Pitocin advises against using it for the elective induction of labor due to a lack of safety data. Pitocin carries many risks that are rarely talked about. We go over those risks and why physiological, undisturbed childbirth is usually better for both mom and baby. 

Pitocin is not safe for the elective induction of labor:

The manufacturer of Pitocin states that it shouldn’t be used for the elective induction of labor due to a lack of data on the possible risks vs. benefits...
