bullet1 Question   Why Choose Lotus Birth, No clamping of the Umbilical Cord?

Why the Lotus Birth following a warm water birth as the best choice for the care of the newborn baby?   Comments by Donna Young, Natural Birth Education. (Revised December 13, 2003)

    The Lotus birth is an old method with a new name.  It  is the old fashioned pioneer's method of no clamping or cutting of the umbilical cord, ever!  Cords were only tied and cut if they had torn. That is rare incident, and likely reflects the baby was dropped. Babies are only dropped if the woman was placed on a higher operating table, and that is only necessary in a c-section, not a vaginal birth.


    The warm water birth allows the mother a no drugged birth, a form of relaxing, and she can catch her own baby.  The warm bath water does not cause the child hypothermia, that is the cold air shock and stop the pulsating and blood transfusion of the umbilical cord.  The blood transfuses normally by the child's beat of the heart, and warm blood flows easier.  


     When women were forced to abandon home births, by the 1920's, a political ploy arranged by the medical societies, we did not carrying on the wisdom of the pioneers of these natural birth practices.  They experienced no risk of infections in the cord, and the child getting all his her immunities by full transfusion of the placenta blood into the baby's expanding lungs.  

  

By choosing Lotus Birth, no clamping or cutting of the cord, practiced by Canadian Pioneers before 1929, the wise ones, the baby is protected from the unethical teaching and practice of robbing the baby's stem cells, trapped in the placenta, or wasting it by burning it, when the blood belongs inside the baby's lungs.  


All the nutrients of amino acids the proteins to build new cells are in the blood, plus important hormones and enzymes and vitamins and minerals, particularly the water soluble Vitamin B complex , Vitamin C, and vitamin A, D, and E, and other minerals and salts.  Then there are the elements of blood, white cells to fight infection, red cells to carry oxygen,  newly released stem cells, platelets to clot the blood (the baby does not need Vitamin K injected), and the plasma, the proteins...all these are essential to keep the baby's immune system healthy and give the baby a good start.  Babies that are low volume and pressured at birth by being blood deprived are compromised babies, and they are in recovery for 6 weeks to 6 months to re-create their blood back. (Reference:  Policy #71, December 1998, SOGC)


 The baby is spared of unnecessary risks of cord infections.  Lotus Birth is logical because the cord heals faster and perfectly, within days, rather than the 5 to 15 days and risk of infections of a cut cord.  Also, the placenta, in hospitals, and in some homebirths, is skirted away from the mother's and father's vision.  The parents are preoccupied with the newborn baby.  The placenta is taken, in most instances, to labs in the hospital where they can be drained of its placenta blood, that ought to have been in the baby/owner own body.  The parents will never be told how much blood was deprived their baby by hasty clamping.


This placenta blood contains stem cells and many other valuable components of blood, to name a few:  platelets, clot the blood, plasma (proteins of the blood), white cells, fight infections, red cells have iron and carry oxygen to all cells, stem cells replace worn out cells, hormones and enzymes and iron reserves.   What else happens is that unethical DNA research on genetics is being done, meaning the parents did not give informed consent for such genetic testings.  The parents have no idea who has that information or why they want it.  Taking such genetic tissue from the placenta and the blood is invasion of privacy, no informed consent was given, by the legal guardian(s) in most instances.


It is a fact the hospitals and medical persons are involved in selling both the blood and the placenta for personal gain.  It is sold, without informed consent to research companies by doctors and other medical persons.  Even, perhaps, by some unethical parents, indifferent to the illegal abuse to their child by making them a second class citizen, to provide for another's needs.  Some parents can be found to be promoting the so-called donation of placenta stem cell blood over the internet.  


They should be arrested. Because it is child abuse, depriving the child of something a court would not deprive or order a child to give up, not knowing the health of the child when early cord clamping is imposed on the child.  That hospitals and doctors have secretly being involved in taking the child's blood by early cord clamping, does not make it any less a crime.  This is even if most children were forced upon to tolerate the assault and battery, and lived.


It was none-the-less battery, and endangering to the child, lowering their quality of life, in some instances, and impairing their future choices in careers and occupations by the degree of blood volume and pressure deprived and oxygenated blood interruption to cells.  


This is not a matter of opinion of practice.  It is a matter of assault and the failure of best practice possible, least harm done.  We must deal with those organizations and society that remained "silent on the issue."  Or, advocated in some way, directly or indirectly, by their silence this was happening and it was okay to do that to a helpless child.  It would not be tolerated to a dumb animal.  It should not be condoned for the human baby, either.  


Donation of Blood:

It is not the duty of the child to provide for another because the newborn baby is not 110 pounds, not age 17 years of age, not able to give informed consent, and in the time period the cord was clamped to get quantity of blood from the placenta (4 to 6 ounces of blood, even 30 ccs is an illegal deprivation to the child), it was not know the health condition of the child.  Those are the principles to allow any individual to donate blood.  The strong do not pick on the weak the vulnerable and those that cannot protect themselves.  Universal Declarations of Human Rights demand that duty to the infant.

INCREASE OF SICKNESS IN OUR CHILDREN.  AUTISM IS NOW ONE CHILD IN SIX HUNDRED, MILLIONS OF BABIES IN THE USA CANNOT ATTEND SCHOOL UNLESS THEY ARE ON RITALIN.  OVER 200,000 CANADIAN CHILDREN ARE TREATED WITH THAT DRUG AND OTHERS AS WELL.  We have never gone back to birth care and treatment of the woman during birth and the actual care and treatment of the child, after birth, as far as injections, clamping off the cord, and the time it was done, and why the information was not recorded on the child's own medical chart?


Many children have delayed development problems, attention deficit disorders, and autism.  Such inflictions on the child have been noted a common factor, the drugging of the mother, thus the child, and then followed by early cord clamping, and vaccinations when the child was in an anemic condition.  Other known harm are forcing a mother to birth flat on her back, or in a semi-sitting positions.  These position endanger oxygen to the child, render the child most likely to suffer broken ribs and collar bones, and skull and brain injury because these position keep the birth canal (pelvic bone) are closed by up to 30 percent.  These positions are only done for the convenience of the medical person to dominate the control of the woman's birth, and aid them to cut the woman vagina, episiotomy, imposed on most inexperienced mothers, by trained rituals, and to be followed in subsequent birth deliveries.


In some instances, the infant was endangered with consent of their parents, but believed not informed consent, but rather deceived consent, not being told no clamping or cutting of the cord is a necessary medical procedure, or the proper birth process and position of birth options, or warm water births.  


Some, the parents were indifferent and continued with medical support to impose the clamp on the pulsating cord.  All, my opinion, were then involved in assault and battery on the child.  Some records of the facts of the violation exist.  Some were destroyed.


When the clamping was imposed without means of parents to stop that assault, battery, the parents, did not press for criminal charges against those involved in training medical persons to do this improper procedure.  Some may have sought private civil actions, but that was self-interest for money, not to stop an illegal medical malpractice from happening to other babies in the same community.


It is documented since 1801, that early cord clamping is known to be the least secure protection to the care of the child, during and after birth.  It has been known that all babies, including c-section babies, or premature babies are no exception to have full delayed clamping or no clamping on the cord, at all.


The only visual reasons for doing a need of cord clamping is if the cord tore or for placenta previa.  A investigation how that situation came about must also be part of either criminal and/or civil investigation and inquiry.  


Either the medical person dropped the child (core tore), or the doctor doing a c-section was so rushed he did not take time to be aware of possible placenta previa, and cut into the placenta, or cut the cord during the c-section procedure.   In any case, a child early cord clamped must be investigated.  Further, care for anemia and deprivation of essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, hormones, stem cells, and iron supply must be perceived and checked for.  This is because the nutrients in the blood have been deprived the child, in most instances, needlessly at birth.


Not Judging Medical opinions and decisions on early umbilical cord clamping:

This is not a situation to be open-minded. It is a situation of best practice possible and least risk of harm to the child, and the duty of all persons, parents, and medical persons to report child abuse.  Early cord clamping and interruption of the child's umbilical cord, that would continue to transfuse blood, even to 20 minutes, documented by evidence of delayed clamping, is child abuse.


Myths attempting to excuse child abuse in medical practice and procedures on early umbilical cord clamping:

There are many myths and trends, traditions and customs doctors attempt to use to excuse early cord clamping.  These excuses need to be proven as a fact that full delayed clamping was not the first option and care and duty to the child:  short cord, revival of a child, meconium, jaundice, anxiety of mother to see the child, doctor in a rush to prepare the delivery room for another (first come first serve), doctor wanted the type of blood type the baby had for another, fear of thick blood, fear of two much blood.   


Condition that require blood letting can be done after the fact of tests and cause that to allow release of blood from the baby is in deed, a medical benefit.  Until such tests are conclusive the baby is to be protected for equal protection and security of person.


Facts:  premature babies (those under 5-pounds) or born before full term, are most vulnerable to have early cord clamping.  Why?  Because they have more premature blood cells (stem cells), then do full term babies.   The selling of such stem cells is prime, and the premature babies, as they struggle to live and create more blood supply, to live, are again drained of 10 to 15 percent total blood volume, every 2nd and 3rd day, until the plugs for their survival are pulled; then the premature baby's organs are sought.  


No coroner's investigation on the care and treatment are done for such victimized baby, and the nurses and lab technicians are all part of the care and treatment of the babies, and failed to report abuse to the child.  Many parents may be involved, most are improperly trained and did not make informed decisions.  However, after the fact of being informed their medical person assaulted and violated their child, they did not write out a criminal complaint for investigation of the care and services of their child, and where done, and by whom, and the training of the medical person(s).


Pardons in Advance for medical malpractice on early umbilical cord clamping:  


It is not anyone's duty to give pardons in advance, except Courts or by Acts of Parliament, in democracy.  The duty of the Nations is to allow Rule of Law to do its duty to investigate medical malpractice.  There is much evidence available to review history of written training and practice to to look at the evidence of early cord clamping and the draining out of the placenta that all medical persons involved in early clamping were concealing the facts of evidence.  


What most doctors and nurses involved in the birth were doing, world wide, was failing to write down on the child's own medical chart, the condition of the cord when clamped, red firm and pulsating, and the position of birth of the child when clamped and time of the cord clamped.  


Some babies clamped when the head was born, or head and shoulders, were severely damaged. They had been clamped for a tight cord, rather then the first attempt of two fingers placed between the cord and the neck, to allow full and continued transfusion of blood through a pulsating cord.   (See Chow-case-law, Ontario, Canada, at www.123-baby-birth.com.


Most of the internal damages to children are not caused by bad genes, but rather by improper medical training and practices of the medical persons, who are involved in profits being made by selling the placenta and stem cells, or allow the Hospital to make the income from these human organs sold and blood tissues.  


There is no good excuse for false training and inadequate training of any medical person licensed and believed competent by the government.  This is breach of trust and bad faith to the public, at large.  We are faced with higher medical costs, in the millions of dollars, for millions of victims damaged, needlessly.  We are faced with higher education costs for compromised children, needlessly caused at birth medical malpractice.
