Childbirth in Hospitals, Birthing Centers or a Home Birth

For the most part, the "norm" for a hospital birth goes something like this... Mom is laying on her back in bed (which places pressure on major blood vessels cutting off some blood flow desperatly needed during labor AND increasing labor pains) with an I.V. in her arm, prohibting all food and drinks leaving mom hungry and tired and continually decreasing in energy, and a strap around her belly to monitor the baby's heartbeat, keeping her from moving around which is essential for an easier, quicker, and less painful labor.

Since movement is so restricted, pain increases, which then probably will demand an epidural, which in turn keeps you in bed, slows down labor sometimes tremendously, which then may call for Pitocin (a synthetic hormone which usually always causes strong, painful contractions), OR, because of the decrease in labor, the doctor may break the bag of water to try and bring on a more regular contraction pattern, but has then opened the sterile field into your womb, which will most likely cause a fever in the mother, due to an onset of infection demanding a round of anti-biotics to be administered.

So, epidurals slow down labor, and Pitocin speeds it up...sometimes...if not, the mother is then proclaimed "failure to progress",or the baby's heartbeat begins dipping low in a sometimes dangerous manner, and an emergency C-section is called for immediately. This unfortunate scenero plays out in hospitals all across our country (and many parts of the world) every single day. There is a better way...

I went thru this similiar situation myself three times, minus the C-sections, but experienced the IV's, epidurals, external monitors, internal monitors, no food or drink up to 25 hours, no coaching or help from the hospital staff, even one forceps delivery. Since then, I have learned and experienced the differences in births as a Midwife Assistant. Many births were at the homes of Amish and Mennonite families. I saw that with the guidance of a well trained, loving and nurturing midwife,

I can honestly say each woman had a wonderful and glorious birth with minimal and manageable pain control. They were surrounded by husband or another family member, usually in their own homes or a comfortable, quiet, private birthing center...eating, drinking, and moving around as they felt comfortable. NEVER was any woman sent to the hospital due to "lack of progress". I totally attribute this to prayer, first of all, knowledgeable midives, and the use of wonderful BIRTHINGHERBS that made all the difference in the world!

My own daughter, 1st-time mom, had a homebirth with a midwife. She took herbs throughout her pregnancy, EASY BIRTHING FORMULA the last 5 weeks before her due date along with Evening Primose Oil Caps., and several other herbs during labor. After only a 5 hour, 40 minute labor, my beautiful 8 lb.8 oz grandaughter was born! Mom had very little bleeding, and no tears or scrapes. Without a doubt, the herbs worked miraculously, and my daughter had never been as healthly in her life then she was while she was pregnant...true!

We believe that the information and herbal products on this website will help insure the kind of pregnancy and birth you are planning and hoping for.
