birth to man by a «

Looking behind the Curtain A recent study
of elective induction at term purports to show that it would reduce perinatal mortality without affecting
spontaneous birth rates, although it would increase admission to a special neonatal care unit if done before 41 weeks, which contradicts the current belief that elective delivery at 39 weeks poses no excess risk.

The World Health Organization says, «We define normal
birth as:
spontaneous in onset, low - risk at the start
of labour and remaining so throughout labour and delivery.
Induction
of Labour: * higher rates
of Caesarean Section * increased risk
of your baby being admitted to NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) * increased risk
of forceps or vacuum (assisted delivery) * contractions may be stronger than a
spontaneous labour * your labour is no longer considered «low risk» — less choices in where and how you
birth, restricted
birth positions, continuous monitoring CTG, time limits for which to labour in.
And just in case you need some convincing, research (like this and this and this) has shown that women supported by a doula are: * more likely to have a
spontaneous vaginal
birth * less likely to ask for pain medication * less likely to have a cesarean
birth * more likely to report a positive
birth experience * more likely to have a decrease length
of labor
For the baby, instrumental delivery can increase the short - term risks
of bruising, facial injury, displacement
of the skull bones, and cephalohematoma (blood clot under the scalp).24 The risk
of intracranial hemorrhage (bleeding inside the brain) was increased in one study by more than four times for babies born by forceps compared to
spontaneous birth, 25 although two studies showed no detectable developmental differences for forceps - born children at five years old.26, 27 Another study showed that when women with an epidural had a forceps delivery, the force used by the clinician to deliver the baby was almost twice the force used when an epidural was not in place.28
Promoters
of the Bradley method claim that 86 %
of couples who correctly follow the 12 - session Bradley method course have

births, without any drugs.
Historically, episiotomies were performed to prevent
spontaneous tearing
of the perineum and to reduce the risk
of fetal
birth trauma (such as when the baby's head would push against the perineum for a long time).
However, certain sleeping or sitting positions in carriers can exert torsional forces or internal tibial torsion on the growing lower limbs and either prevent the
spontaneous correction
of those deformities present at
birth, or even create new torsional or tibial deformities.
We used reliable methods to assess the quality
of the trial evidence for seven key outcomes: Preterm
birth < 37 weeks, overall fetal loss and neonatal death,
spontaneous vaginal
birth, caesarean
birth, instrumental vaginal
birth, intact perineum and regional analgesia.
Compared to children born vaginally following
spontaneous labor, the combined adjusted relative risk
of being «developmentally high risk» was 26 per cent higher for a planned
birth at 37 weeks and 13 per cent higher at 38 weeks.
On the whole, there was no evidence
of a difference between the caseload and team subgroups for any
of the outcomes included in the subgroup analysis, which included caesarean section, instrumental vaginal
birth,
spontaneous vaginal
birth, intact perineum, preterm
birth < 37 weeks and all fetal loss before and after 24 weeks plus neonatal death.
Women's chances
of a
spontaneous vaginal
birth were also increased and there was no difference in the number
of caesarean
births.
We used reliable methods to assess the quality
of the evidence and looked at seven key outcomes: preterm
birth (
birth before 37 weeks
of pregnancy); the risk
of losing the baby in pregnancy or in the first month after
birth;
spontaneous vaginal
birth (when labour was not induced and
birth not assisted by forceps; caesarean
birth; instrumental vaginal
birth (
births using forceps or ventouse); whether the perineum remained intact, and use
of regional analgesia (such as epidural).
It also increases
spontaneous vaginal
births (high - certainty evidence) and probably reduces caesarean
births and increases the number
of women with an intact perineum (moderate - certainty evidence).
We assessed the quality
of trial evidence for the following outcomes using the GRADE methodology: preterm
birth < 37 weeks, overall fetal loss and neonatal death,
spontaneous vaginal
birth (as defined by trialists), caesarean
birth, instrumental vaginal
birth, intact perineum and regional analgesia.
A systematic review
of 22 studies [40] found women who had continuous support in labour (either from a nurse, midwife, doula, childbirth educator, family member, partner, or stranger) were more likely to have a
spontaneous vaginal
birth, a shorter
birth, and to be satisfied with their
birth.
Women's chances
of being cared for in labour by a midwife she had got to know, and having a
spontaneous vaginal
birth were also increased.
We are trained to refer moderate risk to high risk mothers to OB's who are trained surgeons and technical equipment users to handle the 3 %
of births that are truly not normal, natural
spontaneous events.
All my patients were low risk women planning
spontaneous vaginal
births, and the hospital I trained at did not offer epidurals (they brought them in only at the very end
of my training years).
After a
spontaneous, quick and beautiful natural delivery in a hospital we were denied the ability to leave 24 hours after
birth because
of one * abnormal * test result.

«Our research indicates that insertion
of cervical pessary at around 22 weeks in both randomly selected women pregnant with twins and in patients with a short cervix
of less than 25 millimeters does not reduce the rate
of spontaneous early preterm
birth, perinatal death, adverse neonatal outcome, or need for neonatal therapy.»
«These percentages are remarkably similar and may reflect the lowest rate
of spontaneous early preterm
birth that can be achieved in any population,» Carlson said.
The study concluded that male fetuses were at increased risk
of spontaneous preterm
birth as well as preterm premature rupture
of membranes.
«Although antibiotic use to treat infections has been linked to a decreased risk
of prematurity and low
birth weight in other studies, our investigation shows that certain types
of antibiotics are increasing the risk

In the study, published in Obstetrics and Gynecology, researchers compared measurements
