Natural Child Birth: What You Need To Know

military-id — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 08:16:38 +0000

I keep a copy of the obstetric bill for my birth and mother’s four day stay in the hospital. It was $63.29. Of course it was 1947, but still. The average hospital birth these days with a discharge in twenty-four hours is $8,000 to $10,000. Childbirth is the biggest source of income for US hospitals, and the four-million or so births a year end up costing over fifty billion dollars a year. One third of mothers undergo C-section when the recommended level should be one-third to one-half that number. One third of women have an episiotomy incision to assist in delivery of the infant head, whereas probably only a third need it .Somewhere around half of women have induced labor. There is a strong constituency out there who propose an alternative approach to labor and childbirth, that is, natural childbirth. They are very vocal about the “medicalization” of what amounts to a natural process. They point to the fact that although American healthcare has the most technically advanced system in the world, it ranks about thirty-seventh among other worldwide healthcare systems in efficacy, and it ranks fourteenth in maternal morbidity at six months. On the other hand, we have the American College of Gynecologists (ACOG) who are strongly lobbying lawmakers to prohibit out of hospital birthing practices. Surely what’s best for the infant and mother lies between these strong variances of opinion.

One thing you have to give the natural childbirth proponents is their emphasis on education. Whether it is live lectures, internet blogs, or programmed courses, they teach, teach, and teach. They advise on morning sickness from the time of conception, what fetal movements feel like, what Braxton-Hicks contractions later in pregnancy feel like, and the continuing physiologic changes in the mother’s body as the pregnancy progresses. They teach about diet, exercise, birthing positions, how to distinguish true labor, and the progress of natural labor. I have to admit sometimes in the medical model the pregnant patient is given a bottle of prenatal vitamins and basically told, “We’ll take care of the rest.” The mother might be told in advance what day she is to come in and have her labor induced, and be reassured that she will have an epidural anesthetic when any true discomfort occurs. Maybe she gets put into a kind of twilight sleep and has little memory of her labor. Each intervention of this sort might interfere with the progress of normal labor.

Another thing you have to give the natural child birth promoters is their habit of including the father into the birthing process. Instead of his hanging out in the waiting room drinking cup after cup of coffee, he’s right there with the mother assisting her with breathing techniques, techniques that involve physical distraction and mild levels of hypnosis, and other natural ways such as massage to diminish discomfort. Perhaps he helps her assume the various birthing positions or helps in any other number of ways. The basic concept is that he has attended all the teaching programs, and he knows what is going on at any given time, and feels confident to step in as he is needed.

Anecdotally, I might interject my own experience with natural childbirth. I have a generation of nieces and nephews who all agreed among themselves to utilize one nurse midwife at a birthing center. There were a total of twelve children born. None of the mothers required C-section, episiotomy, or epidural anesthesia. All infants were born in hearty condition and were doing well at their first birthday. I was impressed.

The negative side of natural childbirth, especially if there is not a physician and an operating room readily available, is that things can go wrong very fast during the course of some labors. The infant can suddenly show distress if the cord is around his neck or if the placenta starts to detach or malfunction, the placenta can come out first causing severe bleeding, or the mother may have toxemia with severe blood pressure elevation and seizures. The nurse midwife is not able to prepare for these and other eventualities. Theoretically an infant or a mother, or both, could be lost under these circumstances. This is why ACOG has taken its stance against home deliveries. Most of the time deliveries go well, and the outcomes are good, but there are those few cases that would haunt a medical professional for the rest of his or her life.

So that’s the dilemma. Do we treat every pregnancy like a potential disaster and err on the side of over-intervention, or do we relax a little bit and let nature take its course? Of course the answer is somewhere in between. Excellent prenatal care will identify many problem pregnancies which could be passed along early to physician specialists. Likewise a nurse midwife or primary care physician should have certain intuitive skills to identify and refer potentially complicated pregnancies. My hat is off to both of these groups of medical practitioners who skillfully manage pregnancy and delivery.

Dr. Laurusonis became licensed in four states and ultimately chose to move he and his family to Georgia to begin his private practice. Due to Dr. Laurusonis' extensive experience in Emergency Rooms throughout Georgia and other states, and his residency in Internal Medicine, Dr. Laurusonis decided to open an Urgent Care Center instead of a 9-5 doctor's office. Dr. Laurusonis and Doctors Medical Center is open 7 days a week from 7:30 am to 9:30 pm. Dr. Laurusonis welcomes you to either make an appointment or just walk-in to see him.

Tactical gear complements natural abilities

military-id — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 04:48:36 +0000

Without the right tactical gear to perform their duties, even the best brain and well-built person might flounder, both in the routine discharge of duties, or when emergencies crop up. While the right gear is important for every human being, police tactical gear is of utmost importance for policemen, because discharge of duties and emergencies are too often inextricably mixed up in their world. They are people trained to handle daily emergencies.

Something like a pepper spray can be everybody's tactical gear for it is a handy weapon against antisocial elements. When you find yourself in a physically unsafe or unwelcome situation, more possibilities are that you may not be armed. A knife or a gun may be an asset during such an eventuality, but besides the fact that you are not likely to have one, wielding a knife or a gun, even if you have one, is not advisable, because by using it, you could even end up on the wrong side of the law.

Carrying a pepper spray aerosol as tactical gear would solve the problem substantially because all you have to do during an emergency is squirt the pepper spray aerosol straight on to the enemy's face. The jet of hot spray would temporarily immobilize the enemy and you will get enough time to escape, if not retaliate. The spray complements the presence of mind.

A pepper spray can be part of police tactical gear as well, but it cannot be policemen's sole tactical gear. They need equipment of several types, one of which is tactical boots. The nature of their jobs force policemen to tread on most hostile earth, and tactical boots are fully designed to combat nature's hostility in the best possible way, enabling policemen to function without losing speed and mobility. There are tactical boots fit for the marshiest of places, or sand dunes, or knee-deep waters, or rocky terrains. Many of these boots are ideal police tactical gear, as well as essential gear for backpackers, and trekkers.

Tactical boots designed as tactical gear for deserts, have side vents to keep the feet cool. Many different types of tactical boots have side zippers that make them easy to wear. Some tactical boots are designed to be worn in places that are slippery, and so are fitted with soles that are oil and slip resistant. Yet others are waterproof and are also resistant to waterborne worms or insects and bloodsuckers like leeches. While the different types of tactical boots described above can be used by anyone, some boots have a concealed pocket on the upper side. A small knife can be hidden in this pocket and such boots are meant primarily to be police tactical gear, designed to enhance their natural crime prevention skills.
