Today I learned that the cesarean section rate in South Africa is 85%.
Let that sink in.
Why? Apparently if you can prove there is anything wrong with your child up until they are 18 years old, you can sue the OB if you had a vaginal birth. BUT if the OB performed a cesarean they cannot be held liable for any damages because they did everything “life saving.” How screwed up is that?

Thought for the day:

If you put a handful of popcorn into the same pot, into the same oil and heat it all to the exact same temperature, it doesn’t all pop at the exact same moment.

Same with labour, birth and babies.

Be an individual.

Pop in your own time 😆😊

There’s “a belief that there’s only one way to know the truth, that it has to look like lab coats for it to be true. I think that is one way that we find out what the truth is… and I don’t think we should walk away from it. And there are many others that predate it and live alongside it.”

In approximately 4 minutes, the Sandy Hook Elementary shooter fired 154 bullets, killing 20 children and 6 educators. Sign the petition now to demand Congress stop the sale of assault weapons!

This! She is speaking to breech birth, but all of it is applicable to any birth. Doctors and Midwives don’t deliver babies, mamas birth their babies.

I’m pretty much over at Beginnings Birth and Wellness Center these days-two birth centers and we do home birth too! What could be better than that?
