In episode 6 of the Birth Like a Mammal podcast, Lindsay dives into why natural birth does not - and cannot - take place in a hospital. Lindsay reiterates the true definition of "natural" as it's very often misused and generally misunderstood. Lindsay highlights how obstetric practices are completely disconnected from the mammalian birthing processes.
This episode is a must listen if you are planning a natural birth in the hospital as it explores 15 examples illustrating why natural birth and hospitals don't mix. While there are many more examples than 15, Lindsay focuses on the major players in standard obstetrics. She references how hospital falsely advertise their "Mother-baby friendly" nonsense when in reality the only true way to be "Mother-baby friendly" is to birth like a mammal.
Key Takeaways:
- Natural birth does not exist in the realm of obstetrics.
- Many people use the term "natural birth" to describe "vaginal birth".
- There is nothing in obstetrics that is in alignment with mammalian biology.
- Most people who work in L&D units have never seen a truly undisturbed NATURAL birth.
- A hospital environment is highly disruptive which is the exact opposite of what mammalian birth requires to function optimally.
Quotes:
- "Natural birth does not, and cannot, take place in the hospital."
- "Natural birth is NOT simply "vaginal birth."
- “Birth is incredibly intimate... It should be private, dark, and undisturbed.”
- “Every hospital is falsely advertising their services if they claim to promote natural birth."
