It’s funny how pregnancy and childbirth can be that catalyst. I certainly became a lot more wary of the medical profession as a whole as a result of research I did before and during pregnancy. I’m glad you managed to avoid the injections and used your own good sense to make a decision on that!
I gave birth to my last three children without an MD. The last two were born at home. Eldest is 32, youngest is 23.
My first birth was traumatic for me and my daughter, who went into fetal distress because of their medically managing me in a way that I later learned, was medically contraindicated. Thank you! I hope you did the same. 🙏🏼💓
I had a hospital birth for my first which wasn’t really my initial choice but the nearest birthing center and midwife was an hour and a half away 🙁 My second, I was in a different city and state, and was able to have a birthing center birth which was 1000 times better than the hospital birth (which was still not so bad because I had an amazing doula who helped me so much, no medication thanks in large part to her assistance). My second I was 40 so did the special ultrasound. The doctor who analyzed it was an idiot though, he told me my baby was measuring big (because he had determined the due date to be two weeks later than my calculations had it) and warned me that I should be concerned about gestational diabetes 🙄 I was naturally quite upset upon hearing this but after some reflection, realized he could not have been correct as to the due date. And then I also discovered that second trimester ultrasounds are not as accurate in terms of weight and due date estimates as first trimester when there is less variance between babies’ development/size. When I told my midwife, she also reassured me that my own calculations fit with the measurements she’d been taking since I had started seeing her, and she believed the doctor was wrong too. It turned out that my child was born early (three weeks according to my calculations) but was not premature, he was just barely at 37 weeks, so that also proved me right. So many things that made me skeptical about listening to doctors!
Yes I also decided to wait and see initially for the jabs, I was a little leery of them at first already, because they were so new and had been developed so quickly, but then became more and more because of all of the incentives and propaganda. I am so glad I was skeptical and didn’t cave to the pressure (I tend to react negatively that anyway, and dig my heels in, I hate pressure tactics). Thank God.
Good on you for listening to your intuition! I was 40 when my last daughter was born at home with midwives. My entire family had a stomach virus (former husband and 3 children). I took care of everyone, and was the last one to get it, the day before my due date. I vomited so much that I lost 10 pounds of fluids. I called fire and rescue while everybody was asleep to see if they could give me an IV of fluids. They told me that they’d have to take me to the hospital and I said, no thanks! I’m having this baby at home. I had a wild and precipitous labor. Went from 0 to 10cm in 20 minutes. She was born with the bag of waters on her head, with a big smile on her face!
One of my daughters is a doula, not happy with attending hospital births because of their policies. She was born @home too.
It seems to prove how much trust has been lost by the medical establishment after all of this. It resonates with people.
Yes. I already had a mistrust in the medical establishment. Started 30 years ago after the birth of my first child.
I listened to the alternative doctors and other MDs speaking out in 2020 and that’s how I avoided the injections.
