Why so Many Women are Taking the Epidural Trip
Written by Judy Slome Cohain, CNM
Two million American women will take an epidural trip this year during childbirth. In most cases, they'll be ill–informed as to possible side effects or alternate methods of pain relief. In many ways, epidurals are the drug trip of the current generation. Similar to street drug pushers, most anesthesiologists in the delivery rooms maintain a low profile, avoid making eye contact and threaten to walk out if they don't get total cooperation
The Surprising Lack of Evidence For Postdate Birth Induction
Written by Judy Slome Cohain, CNM
45% of births in the US are now induced, but evidence supporting this intervention is severely lacking. Case controlled studies show no benefit to inducing for postdates. Routinely inducing for postdates is based on 3 uncontrolled, retrospective studies showing 1/1000 less stillbirths while ignoring possible increases in brain damage to newborns as a result of induction.
The Evidence For and Against Birth Induction
Written by Judy Slome Cohain, CNM
Whether she is aware of it or not, the woman decides when, where and how to give birth. Our bodies are under our control whether we have accessed the keys to that control or not. Extreme control has been demonstrated by highly trained martial arts experts who can prevent themselves from ovulating. Mothers at term have put themselves into labor by simply walking up a steep hill for an hour to start contractions.
Why Homebirth is 1,000 Times Safer Than Hospital Birth for Low Risk US Women
Written by Judy Slome Cohain, CNM
The facts clearly support home birth as a far safer way to give birth than a hospital birth
The Myth of A Safer Hospital Birth for Low Risk Pregnancies
Written by Judy Slome Cohain, CNM
Today research wrongly considers hospital birth as the gold standard. Bias towards hospital births causes the majority of researchers to ignore the fact that women could achieve even better outcomes than hospital birth, at planned attended homebirth.
Autism-Birth Induction Link: Correlation or Causation?
Written by Sayer Ji, Founder
A new study linking birth induction to autism is rippling through the mainstream press, but something vitally important is being lost in the translation; namely, the need to return to natural, ancient birth practices, whenever possible.
Eating Dates Produces Powerful Health Benefits, Religion and Science Agree
Written by Sayer Ji, Founder
Since biblical times dates were to believed to possess profound healing properties, but only now is science catching up to confirm our distant ancestors knew exactly what they were talking about.
Am Journal of ObGYN's Anti-Homebirth Campaign Sacrifices Lives of 100 US Women Per Year
Written by Judy Slome Cohain, CNM
Latest smear campaign against homebirth from Amer J ObGyn contributes to the wrongful and avoidable death of at least 100 mothers every year from unnecessary C-sections.
