Faced with the growing use of technology delivery, there is a trend that supports the need to restore natural childbirth
regard, the WHO (World Health Organization) suggests that there has to respect the right of women to choose childbirth want. It advocates that
nature take its own course if things go well, without further medical intervention that required to ensure the health of the mother and baby. Theoretically, thus, both are responsible for the birth, assisted by a midwife and accompanied only by the relatives or friends want. Experts advance that such formulas discover the physiological instincts of women and their privacy, addition to strengthening the special bond that will unite mother and child. However, sometimes the delivery is happening so complicated, so there is no alternative to voluntary participation to remedy the difficulties that may arise.
The home delivery requires compliance with certain requirements. First, the midwives who attend these births excluding cases that may present a risk to mother or child. Monitoring of pregnancy should be, as in any other case, by testing and controls. It is also mandatory household proximity to a hospital for any emergency.
Recent studies in Switzerland and Holland, and published in edition British Medical Journal, show that the risk of giving birth at home is higher than them in hospitals, provided it is done only in cases free of complications and with the help of specialists
Farrow is an event Biological does not require a systematic intervention, or chemical to cause contractions or avoid pain, or instrumental, which is undergoing hospital births. The protocols are widespread and often apply to women in childbirth and infants who do not need. The experience of bringing a child into the world in the privacy of your own home, without haste, in accordance with the normal rhythm of each stage of labor, in the position that every woman considers more comfortable (usually sitting in water or squatting) affects a lower rate of postnatal complications, and above all, greater satisfaction of women.
For many professionals, childbirth has become a kind of technological approach. Evidence suggests that intervenes too much in births alone could develop smoothly.
WHO in its recommendations on the rights of the pregnant woman and baby, says that countries with natal mortality rates are the lowest in the world are also c-section rates below 10%. There is therefore no reason to justify a cesarean section rates superior
El abuso de métodos quirúrgicos en los alumbramientos podría obedecer al exceso de celo de la clase médica, a su apuesta por la cirugía defensiva para eludir complicaciones posteriores y, por ende, posibles denuncias si algo sale mal durante el parto. Nos hemos vuelto tan civilizadas que hemos olvidado los instintos, que nos ayudarían a parir de forma más natural. Muchas embarazadas ya no hacen la preparación al parto, creen que con la anestesia no les hace falta, y ni siquiera saben cómo encarar el parto.
Uno de los inconvenientes más importantes que se da con los avances técnicos en la gestación es la pérdida del protagonismo de la mujer. En muchos de los centros sanitarios existen adopted standards in which the mother's opinion has very little. From these warn that, for example in relation to episiotomy, a surgical incision is practiced in the perineum to facilitate delivery of the baby, "who systematically WHO is unjustified, professionals point out that these techniques are avoided future health problems in the mother or reducing the suffering of the baby. Studies comparing
birth in the hospital and home birth show that it is safer and there are fewer complications for both mother and baby at birth at home.
"Over the past twenty years the perinatal mortality has greatly decreased, and the doctors attributed to births occurring in hospitals. There is no evidence that this is true. The scientific evidence is that fewer babies die because there is better nutrition, better health in women, better housing, and something very important, because women have fewer children and have them when they want them through family planning. This is probably the best reason that fewer children die than twenty years ago. The explanation lies in what women do, not doctors. ".
