I am planning a program for some women in my community on child birthing practices and women's rights. Right now I am on a hunt for information to help me decide which direction to take this program in. I was reading a blog that I check out from time to time and found a link to an interesting article done by the BBC back in 2009. This article tells the story of an American father who lost his wife in child birth from clots following a C-section. The man lists ovarian cysts and his wife's age (35) as the reasons why a C-section was scheduled. I didn't know those two factors meant that your birth had to be a C-section... This clip is obviously not the whole story, and my heart aches for this man and his little girl who are living without their wife and mother, but I really wonder if this woman's birthing experience had been unnecessary for a healthy delivery.
Nicole D.'s blog posts the following: "What is the All American Birth", you ask? It is a woman who may or may not take childbirth education classes, most likely sees an OB (92% of women), chooses a hospital birth (99%), ends up with either an induction or augmentation and an epidural (80-90%). She may be one of the 1 in 3 women who end up with a cesarean and most likely won't continue breastfeeding past 6 weeks, if she makes it that long.
Those statistics make me cringe! Approximately 33% of women deliver their babies through surgery! Why? We read of celebrities scheduling their births around soccer games and other such events to make life more convenient, but what message is that actually sending? And why would any woman choose to have a surgery with a much longer recovery time than a vaginal birth? Are the risks being properly explained? Are doctors encouraging the safest practices for women and their babies or are they encouraging less safe practices out of convenience and the fact that the more interventions provided to the mother the more money those hospitals can bring in?

its obvious some patients with Herpes Virus are being enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not a cure.
