So I actually attended the birth of my 4 siblings, and all of them were pretty much delivered either squatting or on her hands and knees and took under 6 hours (the last was only 2hrs). I, however, apparently took 18 hours and I was delivered with my mother on her back with her legs up in stirrups. Guess who has two thumbs, a uterus, and is not having kids? (it is, in fact, me)

The rope and squat method is a verified way to give birth, as is on all fours or squating on a birthing chair, that's all still done today in birth centres and with midwives. It allows the pelvis to fully open, allows gravity to do most of the work, lessens the chance of tearing or needing assistance and allows for a shorter labour. While lying on your back can stall labour, increase infant stress, cause distocia and increase pain and tearing...this was invented or became popular because a king wanted to see his mistress give birth and didn't want to have to grovel on the floor to do so and also because it made delivery easier for doctors (not the mother).

Funny how the birthing process has only recently become pleasant for women, you know, the people going through the process, and all throughout history we've just been shuffling through the methods that are most convenient for when men want to watch. No wonder there were so many fucking stillbirths and miscarriages. Childbirth was just another one of the things men thought belonged to *them.* It's a process entirely done by a woman's body, that she should have 100% control over, but no, can you make her lay down please so I can shove my nose a little further into her vagina? fucking christ.

Our pelvis bones still haven't really adjusted to us standing upright. It has definitely given us a disadvantage during childbirth, anyway. But yeah, squatting is the most natural for both childbirth and pooping, still. 👍🏻 If you have trouble pooping, get yourself a squatty potty. It's such a little "nothing" thing, but it can help cut down your straining, and the time it takes. You can make one yourself, too. Just make it so your knees are level or above your pelvis, when sitting on your toilet. 👍🏻👍🏻

It was the first time l had been comfortable and l actually slept off and on for a couple of hours. My waters had already broken so, l wasn't allowed the water birth that l had wanted and because l had had medical problems during pregnancy and the baby was coming 9 weeks early, l had to give birth in a theatre in case of complications. l was determined to make it as natural as l could though, and wanted to do it kneeling and with no drugs. It probably helped that l was 36 and wasn't going to take shit from anybody and possibly because l had already said l was unable to lie on my back they didn't argue. l only knelt for the last hour or so, as in, once they decided l had dilated enough and transferred me to theatre. I personally, think that kneeling did make it easier, because of the angle of the birth canal, gravity was helping not hindering. Although as l watched beads of sweat drip off the end of my nose, I did have a chuckle as to how appropriate it was that it was called labour. It absolutely fascinates me that they put women's legs in stirrups and lay them on their back cos they're effectively making them push uphill, solely for their convenience, and not even letting them brace themselves with their legs to do it.

Birth is unpredictable, and how you want to proceed, what position is best, what complications can arise and what you need can be extremely different during each and every birth. As for an audience, I'd be screaming and doing whatever it took to get them to run away. Shaving my head?

I guess Medea had her reasons when telling off Jason for being a coward, unlike her who had given birth, twice. Because all women had it bad, before hospitals were invented (now only some have it bad), but aristocrats had it bad in front of an audience. And incense. Nothing like those smokes to give you headaches.

Medea was also a BAMF in general amd Jason took advantage of her moral grayness so he would look like a hero, so not only was he a coward, he was an asshole

Its either physical pain of birthing, while making sure baby is alright in tummy for 8-9 months straight, or mental pain of going through months or even years through adoption papers to make it official, with a chance of being denied, what is not that rare. Honestly, i feel like difficulties of adoption are just too high. But it does seem somewhat more comfortable. It may be becuase i am not female, but i just cant imagine walking around with another living being inside of me for such a long time, Lmao

Someday someone's going to look back on our way of doing things, women being terrified of giving birth, laying in the most ineffective position, 30-50% being born by c-section, no regard for spirituality or sacredness just treating labour as medical, even the act of going to a hospital where pathogens run rampant vs an institution only dealing with birth, and they will think it's as strange as having the Ghostbusters attend your birth

@thiacari Жыл бұрын
I agree! In the future we'll have pregnancy exercises like safe squats to make our body ready. Our health watches will tell when the time is nearing, and we'll prepare a nice quiet comfortable room in the hospital's birth section, with our favourite things, where we'll stay a week with our partner or friend. Our midwife, who has accompanied us for the whole pregnancy, will practice the positions for pain management. As birth comes nearer, we have our favorite music, and can even have a last stroll in the birthing park. After some time in the room or in a bath, we enter a birthing trance, induced by the songs and sounds of our birth helpers. We choose the best positions and movements, helping the baby to turn and twist in the best possible way to get out. We spend one or two more weeks in our room, learning to care for the baby, helped and monitored, someone else cooks and cleans. Then, as our body is well on it's way to healing and the baby has it's vaccinations, we go home.

I mean they were squatting so they'd probably be pooping downwards or one of those attendants could kind of aim a bucket if they could see poop was incoming. But yes, that's probably why people didn't stand as close with European births
@TheVioletMaze2 жыл бұрын
Now a days they give you an enigma of a gallon of water before birthing to make sure you get all the poop out first. And then you can't eat till you are done. I was in labor for 23 hours and I barely had the energy to push the baby out by the end. Laying on my back and working against gravity was awful. I passed out twice from the pain. I wish I was squatting.
