In our culture, no I don't believe so. I think too many women scared of birth and are too removed from themselves and their intuition. I also believe that there are women that feel more comfortable being with a midwife or family doctor... I do believe that there are a few women that really do need the care of a surgeon, but I don't agree with surgeons trying to manage all births... and I believe that too much management of birth leads to many of the problems women encounter... Vaccines... No we will never vaccinate our children nor ourselves.The risks of vaccinations outweigh the risks for the diseases themselves and I am not scared of the diseases at all. The ingredients in vaccinations are not something I would ever concent to injecting my child with...they often don't work, they wear off and most of the diseases are more dangerous later in life when the vax wears off... I also believe that vaxs destroy the immune system... In Canada vaccinations are not mandatory and you do not have to be vaccinated to attend school...it would go against the Charter of Rights to do so... Are all women capable of birthing unassisted?

I understand it takes kind of trust in ourselves, but there is the estatiscal 5%? bumping in my head of births with difficulties. What to do about that? About vaccines, you don’t give any, like tetanus and polio? My husband only was vaccinated with six years because his paediatric said he didn’t need, and so his parents did. Only in entering school he had to take vaccines, but it is not usual around here. Good rest of day.

It was quite the opposite actually, I was so happy that I was free of any assistance, that I was allowed to go deep inside myself, that there was no one there waiting to intervene or giving me tips etc... I was able to labour and birth naturally. And no... I didn't have a plan B besides calling 911 if it was something that I believe that I couldn't have handled at home... (there are not many things that would make me feel that way however) As for the other question... Well, here in Canada vax's (including Hep B etc) are done at the 2 month appt... however, we don't vaccinate and never will so that isn't a problem. Babies are also not seen weekly even when the mom has a hospital birth with all of the works... and honestly I think that is a bit exaggerated... I get that is just a cultural thing... We did do well baby visits with our first son... we saw the midwife at 2 weeks and then at 6 weeks, the family doctor at 2 months and then every few months after... It was pretty pointless... especially because we don't agree with vaccination.. Marta,

And during labour you never had doubts about what was happening? Well here in my country after babys are born they do the vaccine of BCG, and hepatites B, in the first week, at health center. And go to weight every week during first month, where in first time the doctor looks for any problem with reflexes and mouvemente of hips, etc. What is your opinion about this procedure? Well i thank you for all the answer, i suppose you are in little time. Beijinho * One thing i am curious, Paxye, didn’t you have a backup plan for birth, like a plan B envetualy if needed?

I have one of those front pack carriers that I also hate and wouldn't use with a newborn anyway. I guess I'm still trying to find the perfect sling/carrier wrap that doesn't have tons of straps for me to adjust (I get confused) and is padded and comfortable for my shoulders, back, and baby of course...I'm still looking =) The sling I have covers my baby’s face and is really uncomfortable to wear even while sitting.

I have to admit though that the last few days I have been using one of my stretchy wraps more... I can go for a long longer with him in it and I don't have to adjust it often... My Maya is getting quite old so that could be a reason why I I have been liking the stretchy wrap better... The Maya wrap is great for nursing and quick in and outs…
