These are questions I've been wondering about for a while....actually quite a while.
If birth is natural and normal, then why isn't intervention of any kind (with the exception of emergent cesarean) seen as the non-norm?
Why are those who seek natural, healthy, normal birth seen as "odd" or labeled with everything from "crazy" to "granola crunchers"?
If, as the research demonstrates, all medication crosses the placenta and affects the baby, then why are women more fearful of THAT than the few minutes of pain/hour of labor?
The female breasts are put there to nourish a newborn. Why is these seen as the non-norm?
Why are those who breastfeed their babies seen as "odd" or labeled with everything from "crazy" to "granola crunchers"?
If, as the research demonstrates, breastmilk is THE perfect source of nutrition for babies, then why are women more fearful of THAT than the additives in formula?
Mmm, I see a pattern here. Do you?
