Currently, 40% of births in western countries are cesarean. Literally going to hospital and cutting the baby out. Completely unnatural.
Why do you think this is?

Insane requirements to become a doctor, ideally to have highest quality healthcare, but resulting in mediocrity systemically.
Stick to steaks.
My wife didn't want to do it naturally because she was afraid and didn't want to have that extreme pain and didn't want the permanent change in her body's physiognomy. If you were a woman, I'm sure you would want the same thing.
Nope. I reckon if I were a woman, I'd want to embrace my femininity and the bodily changes that went with it, go for a natural birth as far from a hospital as I could get.
But hey, to each their own.
People, their experiences, their choices are different and must be respected. There is no black and white, life is gray, and those who understand this find balance.
Women who choose a C section and women who choose home birth have more in common than those who get swept up in the medical process and don't have feel like they have autonomy to make decisions. I'm so glad your wife had an empowered birth experience! Informed consent and choices are the most important thing in any birth.
I am a woman and didn't want the same thing
Becoming a mother is a permanent change. I 'm not sure how having a c-section improves on that change
Everyone is free to do whatever they like with their body
Yes, I agree. To each her own.
I was just responding to your claim that if someone were a woman they would want what your wife wanted.
Avoiding pain and trying to avoid change was definitely not what I wanted (and FWIW, I bounced back from my homebirth ridiculously quickly and was a rocking a bikini within a few months).
Yes, the pain was intense but it showed me what I was capable of and was also a rite of passage into the most important role I've played in my life.
I realized after posting this yesterday that it seems like I'm throwing shade on your wife. That was not my intention.
I'm just frustrated with women getting the message that childbirth - something we have been doing forever - is too difficult for them.
It didn't bother me at all, I understood your point of view :)
Thank you 🙏
The doctors are fuckers for it in Australia, best bet is to find all the old English midwife’s that are full on hippies and go that way :)
midwives for the win. the good ones are a special breed
It’s because births don’t belong in structured hospital care. C sections are either scheduled or come to be from prolonged labor, which is normal (especially for your first baby). And once you have a C section, way more likely to have another and experience future complications resulting in fewer kids per family.
The hospital birth mountain will be one of the hardest truth ascents for American families. Seems unlikely we reverse course BUT home births are on the rise.
Preeclampsia and no amnioyic fluid around the baby 🤷♀️
Fiat currency.
It's going faster. Next!
Inventions. Doctors are hammers and everything is a nail.
If we let the human body work, they have no purpose and can’t charge for services.
Also need to rollover the bed for the next insurance claim.
Interventions*
Convenience. Much easier to put a C section in your diary.🤷
according to Elon "larger brain volume"
Fear of pain/Fear of death without major surgical intervention
a loss of ancestral wisdom. statism. the fiat disease. fear.
signs of a very very sick unhealthy cult
Assuming women 100 years ago would do the same if they could, my guess would be a better access to medical care. 🤔
IN SOUTH AFRICA - ITS PURELY BASED ON INSURANCE.. NOTHING ELSE.. GYNAE DRS ARE DROPPING LIKE FLIES BECAUSE THE INSURANCE IS $8000 PER MONTH.. IN PUBLIC HEALTH CARE ITS A BUSINESS FOR LAWYERS TO STAND OUTSIDE THE HOSPITALS AND APPROACH MOMS WHOM HAVE MESSED UP BIRTHS AND THE ATTORNEYS FIGHT THE CASE WIN AND TAKE 95% OF THE MONEY AND THE MOM AND KID GET THE REST.. ITS DISGUSTING!! AND IF YOU WHISTLE BLOW - YOU END UP WITH A 9MM IN YOUR HEAD.
There are many cases when C-section is justified, and it's great that modern medicine can help in those cases.
But I think most C-sections are unnecessary. And it has drawbacks. For one, it makes start of natural lactation more difficult (lack of strong hormone stimuli in both mom and child, post-surgery difficulties).
Moreover:
There are many cases when hospitalized birth is justified, and it's great that modern medicine can help in those cases, and is available as a backup if needed.
But I think most births can proceed very well in home setting (with the right professional assistance). Better for the mom, better for the child.
I don’t know why but astrologically the impact is that more babies are born with their sun above the horizon. And that means they shine their light for society, community and transformation. The universe has a plan for humanity ✨
