The fact of the matter concerning the birth industrial complex and the whole medical system is that the philosophy is at odds with nature.

Many of the things we take for granted with regards to western birth practices was done for men’s convenience or pleasure (yes, pleasure, we’re told to lay on our backs partly because King Louis XIV had a fetish). C sections spike around holidays or if the doctor is going on vacation, or just towards the end of his shift.

The modern birth system relies heavily on statistics, averages and broad advice. Women are individual, situations are individual. However one thing is true of all pregnant women: their bodies were designed to be able to birth the baby she carries.

We are so callous in regard to the delicate hormonal cascade required for labor. We have replaced the dimly lit, warm, familiar rooms with the cold, brightly lit, sterile environment of the hospital. Instead of being surrounded by our sisters, mothers, aunts, neighbors, we are surrounded by anonymous, distant strangers. When we are scared, tense, unsure, we produce cortisol and adrenaline. These prevent you from producing the oxytocin required for contractions. Simply having the lights too brightly can reduce that, slow labor down. Women are constantly inundated with fear messages around birth, horror stories get more play than boring, healthy births. They make better tv too!

When women who have been allowed to go into labor naturally (less and less common these days) arrive at the hospital and checked in, they’re being thrust into an unfamilar environment. Often the adrenaline and tension of the trip to the hospital slows labor. This is when they are given the first interventions. Pitocin (artificial oxytocin) is a very common drug, sometimes they don’t even tell you before they administer it since you signed the general consent on admission. This causes contractions to be very strong but does not trigger the body to produce the endorphins that help you deal with pain. So now many women are in so much pain, more than they even would be naturally, so they turn to pain management. Epidurals are administered in the spine, with a large needle. All of this causes fear and tension in the birthing woman, her body is telling her that she isn’t safe.

The epidural blocks pain by use of either fentanyl or other drugs which can cause the heart rate of the infant to drop. This is usually when doctors get testy that things aren’t happening fast enough or sticking to the made up time table they have. So they boost the pitocin. Now the mother’s uterus is contracting very strongly, occasionally this can cause problems such as uterine rupture because the muscles are overstimulated without the natural feedback of pain or endorphin release. If the baby isn’t born quickly enough (again with a timetable based only on averages) then this is usually when the mother is rushed into an “emergency” c section.

If she had been allowed to labor, quietly, surrounded with love and peace, not rushed or lewdly examined, not forced to assume positions non optimal for birth, she could’ve had a very different birth experience. The outcome would have been the same: a healthy baby. The difference is in one scenario she is left with physical and emotional scars, usually praising the doctors for saving her from the problems caused by intervention.

The modern notion that sex and pregnancy aren't connected to one another has done untold damage to the people of this world.

Like. People aren't sex dolls that you can use and then throw away as you please. They are people and there are natural consequences of this kind of behavior. Some of them (like getting pregnant) are the natural result of sex, some are the result of sleeping around specifically (like broken relationships & STDs), and some (like abortion and broken households) are the results of people trying to avoid the consequences of their actions.

Sex is the font of life through which new human beings are brought into the world, and the refusal to accept this truth has caused so much death and heartache. The divine is not meant to be abused as such, and it shows.
