The good, the bad and the ugly (The Brits' National Childbirth Trust)

The GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY... See below...


First this...


PREGNANT WOMEN: MDs are closing birth canals up to 30%. It's EASY to
allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%!

Just roll onto your side as you push your baby out! BUT - see WARNING,
WARNING, WARNING at the very end of this post...



Onward to the Brits' National Childbirth Trust advice (recommended on
Nicette Jukelevics' website www.vbac.com)...



GOOD

"In the second stage there is even more benefit to being upright or on all
fours. These positions improves [sic] the width of birth canal - and enable
gravity to assist the birth process."
http://www.nctpregnancyandbabycare.c...sp?article=106

(Good! Being upright or on all fours DOES "improve the width of the birth
canal"(allow the pelvic outlet to open wider) - but why doesn't NCT clearly
state that there is clinical and x-ray evidence that upright positions allow
the birth canal to open an "extra" up to 30%?)

BAD

"Lying on your back or in a semi-recumbent position makes pushing harder
because the curve of the birth passage means that you have to push your baby
'uphill' - exhausting for both of you."
http://www.nctpregnancyandbabycare.c...e.asp?page=769

(Bad! Lying on your back or in a semi-recumbent position CLOSES THE BIRTH
CANAL - up to 30%!)

UGLY

"Sometimes the second stage of labour, the pushing stage, is very long and
the baby's heartbeat begins to show signs that he is under stress. Under
such circumstances, ventouse (suction) or forceps might be suggested...You
will probably be asked to put your legs up in stirrups...For a forceps
delivery, you will need an episotomy. This is a cut made at the entrance to
the back of your vagina to enlarge the opening."
http://www.nctpregnancyandbabycare.c...e.asp?page=770

(Arrrgghhh! MDs (and MBs) should NOT be closing birth canals up to 30% -
and they DEFINITELY should not be closing birth canals up to 30% before they
start pulling with forceps!)


National Childbirth Trust (via ): PLEASE
make the obviously necessary changes!

Nicette Jukelevics, MA, ICCE ): Please stop promoting NCT
until they make the obviously necessary changes.


REMEMBER: "It is established
obstetric teaching that a narrow pelvic outlet
predisposes to a difficult vaginal delivery..."

"NOW ANTENATAL FACTORS ARE BEING IMPLICATED"^^^

^^^Cowan F, Rutherford M, Groenedaal F, Eken P, Mercuri E, Bydder GM,
Meiners LC, Dubowitz LMS, de Vries LS, Origin and timing of brain lesions in
term infants with neonatal encephalopathy. The Lancet (Mar1)2003;361:736-42.

Frances Cowan, PhD and colleagues mention an interesting development:

"Until recently hypoxic-ischaemic events in the perinatal period were
assumed to be the main cause for early neonatal encephalopathy...[but now
antenatal factors are being implicated]..."

I suspect some MD researchers began FRAUDULENTLY implicating antenatal
events back in the 1980s - back when the public started learning of the
radiographic evidence that squatting opens birth canals up to 30%.

FACT: MDs began overtly LYING when in the early 1990s I began pointing
out that the phrase "squatting opens birth canals up to 30%" -
usefully translated - means MDs have been CLOSING birth canals up to 30%.

Cowan et al. write:

"Our findings show that more than 90% of term infants
with neonatal encephalopathy...without specific syndromes or major
congenital defects, had evidence of perinatally acquired insults...Reasons
for injuries of perinatal onset remain poorly understood."

Even if MDs (and MBs) are NOT causing neonatal encephalopathy by closing
birth canals - they should STOP closing birth canals...

I've often pointed out that the obivous massive MD birth crime (MDs
senselessly closing birth canals) becomes most obvious when one
realizes that MDs are slashing vaginas en masse (euphemism "routine
episiotomy") surgically/FRAUDULENTLY inferring they are doing everything
possible to OPEN birth canals even as they CLOSE birth canals.

See Squatting, Nurse Jenn's genital piercing, the Anti-Vagina - and
Kingston General's Human Mobility Centre...
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e... earthlink.net

Nurse Jenn *wanted* her vagina modified.

I submit
that most women *don't* want their vaginas modified - at least not at
birth - and they certainly don't want their babies' brains modified by
MD-obstetricians senselessly closing birth canals...

Two Canadian MDs - Erica Eason and Perle Feldman -
recommend
"consumer
pressures" to stop the mass vagina slashing:

"[i]t is clear that episiotomy is a MAJOR contributor to trauma,
pain, and suffering in parturients. Changes in practice can be
effectively introduced through CONSUMER PRESSURES...Routine
episiotomy remains common even in teaching institutions. 'Who
cares about a little cut?' was a frequent comment from
obstetricians...Given the evidence, there should be widespread
abandonment of routine episiotomy "
Erica Eason, MDCM, FRCSC and Perle Feldman, MDCM, FCFP
Obstet Gynecol 2000;95:616-8. Emphasis added.

Whereas Erica and Perle recommend "consumer pressures"...

I recommend "consumer PRESSURIZERS" - THE POLICE...

I just want MD-obstetricians to stop their massive crime. I am in
favor of pardons in advance for MDs. MDs are just academic
prime cuts forced through this culture's most powerful mental meatgrinder -
medical school.

MORE obvious criminal negligence by MDs...

At the University of Hawaii Med School...

"Most first year residents finish the year having performed over 50 cesarean
sections as the primary surgeon."
http://hawaiimed.hawaii.edu/residenc...ms/obgyn5.html

Arrrrggghhh! This is obvious criminal negligence IF - as is the case all
over the world - women are forced into "failure to progress" on their
backs/butts - on their sacra - closing their birth canals up to 30%.

Cephalopelvic disproportion/failure to progress is often the reason given
for cesareans.

Sometimes cesarean section is necessary - but MDs are CAUSING cephalopelvic
disproportion/failure to progress - then "performing" cesarean sections
BEcause of cephalopelvic disproportion/failure to progress...

MDs are also forcing uteri to push with birth canals closed up to 30% - then
chemically whipping uteri to push VIOLENTLY - with oxytocin/Cytotec - with
birth canals senselessly closed up to 30%.

No wonder women beg for epidurals!

MDs also pull on babies' heads with their hands in most vaginal births -
with birth canals senselessly closed up to 30%.

In some institutions - in 26% of births (!) - MDs reach INSIDE the vagina -
with forceps/vacuum extractors - and pull babies out by their skulls -
through birth canals senselessly closed up to 30%.

Sometimes MDs pull so hard they rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords!

Incredibly, MDs have blamed their bizarre birth-canal-closing behavior on
the West's loss of a fundamental human rest posture!

See Gardosi et al.'s 1989 Lancet "controlled trial of squatting" - where
nobody squatted...

Please help stop MDs from closing birth canals.

PREGNANT WOMEN! It's EASY to open your birth canal an "extra" up to
30%!

Just roll onto your side as you push your baby out! PLEASE talk to your MD
about this NOW...

WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING: Some MDs will let women "try" side-lying and
other
"alternative" delivery positions - but they will move women back to
semisitting -
close their birth canals (!) at
the very worst possible moment (as the baby is coming out)...

See GASTALDO'S ABSTRACT - my invited poster presentation at a recent
obstetric congress co-sponsored by the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists/ACOG. (NOTE: GASTALDO'S ABSTRACT is on the web: Search
"GASTALDO'S ABSTRACT
Paciornik"...)

Again, thanks for reading, everyone,

Sincerely,
