A UC birth

[Guest guest]

Thought I would post a brief definition on what a UC birth is for

everyone. I have used a term that is unfamilier to most and forgot

in my original post to define what it was. Sorry about that.

 

A UC birth is an unassisted birth.

A birth at home (or where ever you wish to birth) with no medwife or

medical persons attending. Usually just your partner and for us our

children were there to witness the birth of their new sibling. It is

a free birth where there is no one to tell you what to do and or how

to do it. You take complete responsability for your birth and your

baby, as it should be.

 

You may ask " what about complications? " Well, most all complications

happen or are created by the professional birth attendant. (doc,

obgyn, or medwife) Complications are actually very rare and the ones

that can happen are easily taken care of. (Remember that there is no

guarantee that you will have a healthy baby, just because you birth

in the hospital! The death rate is HIGHER there!) All you have to

do is read and prepare. We are made to give birth and we trust in

that fact. Birth is a normal natural process. It is not a disease,

and does it need to be managed as such. It is society and the

medical profession that has created the belief that we can't birth

without them. It is their job and income at stake if we don't use

their services! Why wouldn't they scare us into going with a medical

birth then?!

 

Okay, sorry for the longer post than I intended.

Hope this helps to answer some questions. If you have any others,

feel free to ask.

Blessings,
