I just wanted to take a few minutes and document Abigail sweet existence. She is the first baby that I have given birth to all by myself, no doctors or nurses, no stir-ups... just me a pool and then there was a baby. The most sweet beautiful baby in the world. She was so perfect and fat and pink. Well needless to say I haven't ever had to take her to a Dr. she is super healthy, and fat, and still perfect.
The question is why is she so healthy, I have a few ideas.... First, maybe its because her cord wasn't clamped and cut immediately after birth.... did you know that doing that traps a full 30% to 50% of the baby's blood volume in the placenta. You might ask yourself "Self, why would Dr's who are supposed to do no harm rob the tinyist little life of so much of his or her very vital blood?" I can tell you, part of it is just being total impatient A -holes... wanting to hurry and get outta that room and on to other things, hence the shot of Pitocin that they always give now to "help" the placenta come faster, God forbid they let nature take it's course and wait for the cord to stop pulsing then cut it. And perhaps if all women were allowed to let their placentas detach and come out on their own (no tugging, yanking, or pulling required) then we would not have the high instance of PP hemorrhage.
Then there is the selling of our placentas that is happening all over this country. The hospitals are selling our placentas to Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic companies.. Why you might ask? Cord blood is a huge deal now, and the Hospitals get a huge payday for that, but do you think that we get a credit on our bill since it is our "Medical Waste" they are selling to make face cream (bet you didn't know that lots of our anti-aging smudge we slather all over our faces and bodies has human placentas in them), and all sorts of things that I don't even want to get into here.
Second, she has never been poked by a needle, not for a Vitamin K shot, or any other "Immunization" they kill more babies then they help by the way. I did not cut her heel to test her for a Metabolic Disorder that only strikes like less then 1% of babies, and usually there is a family connection (heredity) nor did I take her in when she got Jaundice, as something like over 90% of newborns have Jaundice... And being an intelligent person that knows how to read I was able to do research on Jaundice and found that there are 3 kinds, and that Abbie had the most common and most easily treatable kind. Treated with lots of boob juice and some sunlight.
I took Alisha (my oldest) in twice a day for the first week Post-Pard for "heal sticks" because of her jaundice. They never did or gave her anything for it, but her heels looked like pin cushions.
There are many other reasons I feel contribute the Abigail's over all health and well being, I co-sleep, she has spent every night of her life within arms reach of me. I wear her in a sling (more when she was small) around the house and out in public at the store. She has never been that screaming baby in Walmart getting her car seat shaken, while being shushed by an antsy mom who just wants to run outta there leaving her cart full of stuff behind.
I have never fed her on the schedule that was put out by God knows who saying that babies need cereal at 4 months and food at 6 months.... bla bla bla. She has only been interested in nursing from the start, and she is just now at 10 months starting to want to try other foods. And the funny thing is, if you nurse your baby exclusively that is all the food they need until they are a year old. That little tidbit is not given by the mainstream media, maybe because they are funded by the Formula companies, I wont even get into what poise that crap is right now.
So here we are at 10 months, and Abbie weighs 22 pounds, she is crawling and cruising, she is saying mama, dada, baba, and like 4 or 5 other baby words. She eats great, she sleeps soundly, she only poops once a week (which really freaked me out at first, but there doesn't seem to be a problem). She loves her siblings and enjoys 'petting' hahaha the kitties.
I am writing this so that I can remind myself that listening to my gut and my mothers intuition will always be a better idea then listening to the mainstream media, Dr's who always have a agenda and who are also pressured by the Pharm Companies. Now I am not saying that there isn't a place for Dr's and hospitals, because there definitely is, I'm saying that they should be more of a last resort, God gave us all the ability to take care of our offspring, just like the animals, I have yet to see a chimp take her baby to another chimp to fix it, she takes care of her baby herself.
Mothers trust your intuition.... you'll thank me later!!!
