This sign speaks for itself about the biases of natural childbirth, home births, etc. And what is it based on?
What I don’t get is how a medical center wants to deny a woman to exercise, get good nutrition, relax during labor, breathe normally and educate themselves? Those are the tools that a Bradley Method® delivery utilizes so what “method” don’t they want to be a part of?
Oh, hmm, maybe the education side of it? Do the doctors really want women in the dark about their own care? They don’t want us to be advocates for ourselves or our babies? Can’t we challenge what we are being told? I 100% support medical professionals and all the good they can do in emergency care and with the furthering of life and quality of life but we must remember pregnancy is not a disease, you are not sick and unless there are complications, your body does all the work, not a baby catcher.
Please show me a doctor who is not human, who doesn’t make mistakes, who has undivided attention and time for me and I will do whatever they tell me without question…
Additionally, if you ever see a sign like this (it was in a Utah office), run quickly out of there, do not pass go, do not let them “arrange for the transfer of your care” and tell everyone you know not to go their for medical care.
wow, to have a sign permanently attached to the wall with that statement is shocking! It’s almost a type of discrimination.
But you know what, some patients probably prefer it this way. Think of all those woman who say “I don’t want to know anything, just give the me epidural (or c-section).
I’m with you! I cannot understand why these medical professionals would be offended by a woman exercising, eating right, and herself to take the fear out of childbirth. I have also asked over and over again whether or not medical professionals with these particular issues understand that some of us who DO educate and prepare ourselves are far more likely to come at them with both barrels if they force their practices upon us and end up harming either mother or child. I am so afraid for where this country is going in regards to birth, and I am afraid for my daughters when their time comes.
