In many hospitals there is bright light, loud noises, and the first thing the baby experiences is rough suctioning of the nose.<br />Contrast that with a home birth: a softly lit room, gentle music, and the baby is held and comforted by the mother as soon as it is born. <br /><br />Also, another study says that our nether regions are "shy" : that means that toilet functions as well as birthing goes faster in privacy. So if the woman feels uncomfortable, and there are too many strangers around, the birth is actually slower.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-13844927788325825762009-11-04T09:22:12.373-09:002009-11-04T09:22:12.373-09:00Ditto to what you and Mallory both said.

I am still trying to make up for the unfortunate affects of my first birth experience (including PPD) and how that influenced my relationship with my daughter. My second experience, on the other hand, was everything I wanted it to be and I am still amazed--almost 2 years later--how much better my relationship with my second daughter has been, not to mention my perception of myself as a mother. Birthing DEFINITELY matters!Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678111707440064190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-90630076902717524252009-11-04T06:30:38.348-09:002009-11-04T06:30:38.348-09:00I agree. I think every woman remembers the day her...I agree. I think every woman remembers the day her child was born for the rest of her life, and will think back on it forever, good or bad. And if that day was traumatic, that's what will stay with her, even if she got a healthy child in the end.KAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492662417610004495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-45545445279479746732009-11-03T17:33:43.649-09:002009-11-03T17:33:43.649-09:00Great post.Great post.Destinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00141699304044544668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-33558827845688913742009-11-03T13:06:57.009-09:002009-11-03T13:06:57.009-09:00I think there is another reason, too, that is very...I think there is another reason, too, that is very important. How a woman sees herself giving birth (once she realized that she wants to be in control) is how she should be able to give birth. If that isn't what happens, it can emotionally affect how she feels toward her baby and about being a mother. Birth experiences have a huge impact on PPD, according to whether or not the birth was view positively by the mother.Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991788960863652000noreply@blogger.com
