Emergency Birth A Teenager can manage:
Emergency birth by Donna Young
A child's birth need not be complicated. It is a logical process. Mothers and babies have managed thousands of years before 9-1-1 and the organized medical procedures. To birth a child, naturally, and 95 percent babies come without problems, and natural birth can be described in a few paragraphs, the most important information is: birth in the warmest room possible, or in warm water; then wrap the baby in a warm towel and do not touch the pulsating cord, unless the cord tore or for placenta previa, a c-section error.
Other information . . .
Environment and Supplies: Warmest room of the house, electric
blankets available or warm water bottles, warm water tub
or shower. When the baby comes the mother can birth in her practiced position of gravity births
or even in a toilet bowl (cleaned)
leaning forward, or sideways birth in the warm clean tub. A towel in the bowl will prevent harm
to the baby. The contractions turn
the baby in the birth canal. No need to pull on baby. Only support the baby. If you
pull the baby, or twist the baby, you can injure
his/her nervous system. The spine will be injured so do not be rough with baby.
When baby is born wrap him/her in a warm dry towel. Place face and head
down, feet slight raised and gently wipe away the
mucus from his her nose mouth with a clean cloth or clean fingers. Do not worry about meconium. The blood in the lungs will
absorb that and remove toxins normally.
Leave your hands away from the pulsating cord, as the baby is breathing through
the cord, not through his mouth and nose, if
the cord is pulsating, and the cord is firm and bluish. The baby will be normally bluish, as all
babies are blue, the oxygen and
carbon dioxide are mixed in his fetal system. Blue color will continue until the baby's lungs
are full of the placenta blood and
he/she determines when to breathe, so leave the lifeline/hopeline alone.
The baby's own heart, lungs and internal organs will determine the baby's individual
needs for volume and pressure, as he
created the blood in the placenta for his birth, to be just right for his/size at birth, when born. Premature babies have the right
amount for them, as full-term have enough for their size, the cord lengthening too, for the size of
the baby. The cord can be
normally 22 inches long, about the size of babies, the normal size being about 20 inches.
When the blood is inside the baby's lungs, and little blood is left in the placenta,
the baby will go for more oxygen and take that
first breath. It is cruel to force the baby to breath by clamping the pulsating cord, causing
his lungs to breath without adequacy of
blood in them to drop off carbon dioxide blood and take in oxygen.
The placenta shuts down, with the blood now in the baby, and begins to pull
away in the placenta. Do not pull on the cord. The
hormones with the baby nursing are telling the placenta its job is done. There is no oxygen to
the placenta when it begins to pull
away. The natural oxytocin and other hormones are working to eject the placenta. There
are more womb contractions and out
comes the placenta, still attached to the baby's unclamped cord. The placenta is placed also in a small
warm towel and kept
close to the baby. Do not pull on the cord. There may yet be pulsation in the cord.
The umbilical cord arteries are closed off first, so no blood is going back
into the placenta, but the vein may yet be given blood
drawn into the baby's system by his/her own heart and adult circulation working. Soon the vessels
inside the baby, close off all
pulsation in the cord, the cord is white/silver, limp and not pulsating. Just leave it alone,
to fall of naturally in a few days. Keep the
placenta aired in a cheese cloth uncovered while the baby is sleeping.
CAUTION: Keep the cat and dog away from the baby while he/she has the
placenta on. They may sniff and think they might
like to eat it. And wonder why mother of baby didn't do as they do, "eat it" after it
stopped pulsating. This process is true for all
placenta birth mammals.
In a young colt's birth, after a 1/2 hour of rest, they stand up, and walk away
from the placenta, the cord stretching until it
breaks, and they do not bleed to death. Neither does the human baby. But there is not cord
infections if you do not cut the cord.
This all takes about 7 minutes for an undrugged baby. Pulsating
in a drugged baby may take actually closer to 14 to 20
minutes before all pulsation and blood transfusion is complete. Dr. Mavis Gunther, 1957.
The placenta is put in a warm towel, unclamped and not cut, and kept close
to baby. Nothing is injected to baby who has a
healthy immune system. Mothers can and should refuse any injections, even if offered free, as they often
have bad preservatives
in them, like mercury or aluminum and the doctor and nurse are not obligated to tell you the lot or
what is the vaccination. So it is
best to not compromise your baby with unnecessary risk taking.
The baby will be a nice pink healthy baby, his lips are not blue, his tongue
is not blue, and he/she will be strong enough to
nurse within 20 minutes. Immediate clamped babies are not very strong and many do not nurse well. That may be true of
drugged babies, too.
Care of the Mother after Birth: Now the mother has pads put down on her
vagina for any normal bleeding. She may want to
walk around, if she is not drugged. The mother must not be chilled and kept warm as
is baby. Generally for warm water births,
the mother does not even tear, or only minor. Small tears, natural, are safer then cut cords by
knives that can carry infections to
the mother. So natural is best to avoid episiotomies. Many of the small tears do not even
need stitching.
The placenta can be looked at to see if it is whole, and nothing broken away. In two or three days, the cord and the placenta
fall off, for a perfect navel. No cord infections to the child. This is a small period of
inconvenience to 8 days to 2 weeks of
managing a cut cord with the risk of cord infections and hernias. Why chance that when Lotus birth
is no harm done. The Lotus
Birth causes no trauma to the baby, and takes such a short time for the cord to fall off compared to
8 days to 2 weeks of a cut
cord, endangering the child to infection.
The placenta is buried under a special tree to grow as baby grows. Hopefully
the baby will have a long healthy life after being
given a chance to be a natural blue ribbon baby. Hopefully, the parents planned a drug free conception
and the mother continued
with healthy foods and exercise to birth.
Some persons are creative and blot the placenta and cord to make a tree of life, using different colors. Some might even add the baby's foot prints and hand prints. Be wise on the choice of paints that they do not have toxins in them, like natural food dies.
