My wife gave birth to our child in a “modern” Hospital. We learned a lot, and we want to share our experience so that you can make informed decision about epidural and its impact on brestfeeding, normal delivery, and long term intellectual development of your baby. I”m not going through other good practices, because you can find them in any good book. I will mention more of what you will not find in any book, and consult your doctor before using any advice. This is to help you to ask the right Select a doctor who believes in Lamaz’’s class. Call your local Lamaz’’s representative to find out the name of doctor’’s who believe in natural birth as opposed to induced labor, epidural or cessation. If your doctor is a Ob., the chances are high that he will force you (I mean in a subtle way) to a cessation or less lucrative small operations. 80% of your problem for a natural birth is over, if you have a good doctor Before you get pregnant, ask your doctor for Vitamins. Our doctor. did not tell us about vitamins neither before nor after we got pregnant.

I guess it is not so obvious, and not every doctor  will tell you that. Regular walk. Drink as much water as you can.If your doctor does not believe in Lamaz’’s class, he will send you to ”Lamaz’’s-like class, called child birth classes, which are very deceptive, and DON”T PREPARE you for a natural child birth.

In our class, they just showed a video on how good the epidural. The video is made by the company who makes epidural. We paid $80 for the class, at the suggestion of our doctor. If your doctor does not recommend a Lamaze’’s class, you”ve a BAD doctor One or two weeks before your due date, your doctor may ask you when do you like to deliver your baby. This is a bad signal. This means he wants to deliver the baby at his convenience, not during the weekend.

They generally want to do it on the Wednesday or Thursday near your due date If you say ”yes”, you will have an induced labor using some hormones, on the days you have picked up. Induced labor is very painful, and so you have to take epidural (hospital gets about $1000/hour, and for about 15-20 hours). Epidural means you will have hardly any energy left (at the time you will have 10cm. dialation) to push, so your doctor has no choice but to do a cessation (more money for Hospital) or some other brutal procedure (more money for the hospital) to get the baby out from the birth canal.

Apart from that, babies born using this kind of induction have low nappetite, because they are just not ready. So, never ever go for an induced labor unless, it is necessary for medical reason.A great link for more information.. <a href=”http://www.healing-arts.org/mehl-madrona/mmepidural.htm”>Risks of Epidural
