Natural Birthing - A Promise of Dignity in Birth | Dr Evita Fernandez | TEDxHyderabadWomen

[@abigailzhao1931]

This obstetrician is amazing!!! I’m a midwife living and dreaming to see these same changes in China, so every mother is empowered and celebrated!

[@melodiesproul4109]

I have nothing but love and respect for Dr. Fernandez. I have said this before and I'll say it again. All obstetricians should be required to take midwifery training. Period. And if they don't pass the midwifery courses, they should not be allowed to become obstetricians. Also, midwifery training should be free of charge, especially in underdeveloped and developing nations because the world needs trained, competent midwives in order to greatly reduce maternal and infant deaths. United States hospitals, where babies are delivered mostly by obstetricians, have just about the highest rates of maternal and infant deaths in the industrialized world. Not only that, the C-section rates in US hospitals average 1 in 3, with some hospitals averaging much higher. But the countries with the best birth outcomes are countries where the majority of babies are delivered by trained professional midwives. I hate to say this, but if given the choice to birth in an American hospital, or any hospital for that matter where the maternity ward is not run by midwives, or to birth alone, I would choose to birth alone due to all of the unnecessary interferences and procedures that go along with birthing in a hospital with obstetricians. I feel much safer with the thought of doing it on my own, as opposed to doing it with a care provider who is not properly trained.

Completely agree!

I had my first delivery in Fernandez hospital telengana . I choose this hospital because i wanted respect ful care during delivery and i got that . Thank you

[@RaeSelin]

The last sentence brought me to tears, because it's so true!

[@Yogawithsarah]

Brilliant Ted talk and Underrated!!! Wish every hospital, every country’s obstetrics department watched this!

[@margueritesheriff8935]

Bless you humble advocate for pregnant women and midwives. Wish this could be shown in every medical school worldwide. You touched me, you moved me, you voiced my exact thoughts and feelings I've been a midwife for over 40 years and my watch words are always RESPECT & DIGNITY. Imagine every health care provider practicing what you've just articulated what a wonderful world this would be. Thanks, thank you

[@sreeya2019]

She was my obstetric doctor of my first child . I just love her !!!! She is gentle in her talks and I had a wonderful birth experience with her !! Very nice , infact a must watch Ted talk .. Thank you madam!!

[@dorky979]

Amazing Ted Talk!! I am currently pregnant and choosing to birth at a birth center with midwives exactly for all the reasons she mentioned. I hope things change soon

[@SRfive2O]

I’m in the states with my first at 34 weeks. I want nothing more than to birth at the ONLY birthing center in town but my insurance won’t cover it. My partner, doula, and I are preparing for the best physiologic birth possible considering (and I will labor at home for as long as possible). 🤰🏻🐣💜

[@deen-e-islam1337]

Fernandez hospital is not only providing best health care services but also deal with the patients in affectionate way and each word of them symbolises the respect towards patients.

[@alexa7337]

I was reading the diary of a midwife from the 50’s. A girl who was in labor was being modest and the midwife said “ Hun, forget it. There is not dignity in childbirth” unfortunately that is true now.

[@serenaalvarez9220]

Beautiful, every word! Put my feelings as a woman that has been taken advantage of in perfect word, it brought tears to my eyes❤️❤️❤️

[@Gaurav.Gumaste]

Huge thumbs up for Fernandez hospital.....its very reliable and more women are opting for them

[@sandrasplayplace]

I Love How You Narrated This Message ….Because when you said they instill fear to the point where the woman is so scared to want to conceive again & there left mentally scarred after there experience that really hit home for me to personally know pregnant women do get treated with such disrespect & dis anguished towards there care you would think everyone loves there job to the point there passionate to want to give genuine organic help to those in need rather someone is low-income or super rich everyone does deserve equal opportunity to experience pregnancy with the up most gratitude of care & preparations

[@nagappanagappa11]
