Make more babies: stop medicalizing pregnancy and childbirth
Pregnancy & childbirth for today’s urban woman is medicalized, classified as a disease, dreaded, difficult, painful, debilitation and very much expensive. Provincial natural pregnancy and childbirth is normal, cheap and easy in the hands of expert midwives.If you look at the fertility rates of the past few decades, note that in the 1960s with 7 children per woman, the wide majority of these were natural pregnancies and born through the assistance of midwives.
The claims of the medical industry that they have made pregnancy and childbirth safer is false. What they have done for their own greed and profits is to scare men and women into spending lots of money on a normal body function: reproduction.
The urban woman dreads pregnancy and childbirth. She dreads being in a hospital on that ridiculous stirrup that is of no comfort to her, it was designed for the comfort of the hospital staff. She dreads that her vagina will be cut-up in a procedure they call episiotomy… and this they call normal. She dreads this large needle to be injected in her spine… this again hospitals call normal. She dreads that there is now an almost 50% ceasarian section rate of delivery… because the “normal†hospital delivery is really abnormally dumb, or the doctors have lost their childbirth skills and patience, or the hospital finds it unprofitable to have women and staff wait for too long in the delivery room. Besides, charges for c-sections triple the amount of money to be billed!
I’ve learned my lesson in my generation. No children of mine will be victimized by this medicalized pregnancy and birthing process. My daughters and daughter in laws will have the best midwives to assist them in the future. They will find pregnancy and childbirth normal, easy, the pain brief. They will recover fast and be ready for more babies.
If countries want to solve their depopulation problems, this is a major factor to be corrected.
