Science to the rescue for a Safe, Sexy, Scientific and (yes) Orgasmic Birth


By Debra Pascali-Bonaro

The Safest Birth is also the sexiest and most Orgasmic! Learn the practices that make birth unsafe, make birth safest, and what we can do!

 

First, it’s important to talk about what makes birth UNSAFE. In our current model of maternity care there are many practices that increase risks and are not supported by science. Here are my top 6 current practices that cause birth to be less scientific and less safe, instead of the safest birth practices that support gentle, orgasmic, and sexy birth.

What Makes Birth Unsafe

  1. When women are put into bed their labor is longer and more painful.
  2. When women are denied food and drink and instead given an intravenous drip (IV), the natural hormones of birth and pleasure are diluted – making labor longer, more painful, and less pleasurable.
  3. When women are treated with disrespect and without privacy, they are not able to open as easily, naturally, or comfortably, leading to more interventions.
  4. When women are scared and have fear, our tension creates more pain leading to the Fear-Tension-Pain Cycle identified in the 1940’s by Grantly Dick-Read in his book “Childbirth Without Fear”.
  5. When women are told they must push on their backs and not use gravity to their benefit.
  6. When women are scared adrenaline and cortisol levels RISE and our oxytocin levels diminish, causing more pain, stress, and fear and less pleasure and progress.

It’s important to emphasis and focus on the things that make birth safe too! (Hint: follow the science) These tips for the safest birth are supported by science and research, and are used by gentle birth practitioners around the world.

What Support the Safest Birth?

  1. Science supports that women should move and dance in labor.
  2. Research supports that women deserve the ability to give birth with respect, be fully informed and involved in all decision making.
  3. Science supports that allowing our own hormones to flow and peak in childbirth means natural pain reduction, and progress – kissing, touching, and loving will increase these hormones.
  4. Research supports that having continuous support by a doula reduces rate of cesarean sections and interventions and increases satisfaction.
  5. Science supports that gravity will help baby move into the pelvis for a more gentle birth.
  6. Research supports that women need privacy, to feel safe, and to be undisturbed and unobserved during childbirth.
  7. We BELIEVE that when we see these changes made around the world, women will have safer, more gentle, joyful, blissful and (yes) Orgasmic Births!

  2. 5 Reasons You [Think] You Don't Need a Doula - Orgasmic Birth

    […] Partners often appreciate the supportive presence of a doula too. They have their own needs and fears that deserve to be addressed. By helping your partner to feel calm and confident they can better support you! Doulas also are well trained in comfort measures.  The Gate Control Theory of Pain, helps us understand how the more stimulus we receive the less likely it is that we feel only pain. Your doula can remind your partner of the many ways they can provide comfort; emotionally, with physical touch, acupressure and position changes.  The doula can also add or layer more comfort measures too, creating a circle of support and comfort that can help you move from Pain to Power or Pleasure! Plus, doulas support and can enhance the partner’s ability to bring their love to birth, easing up some of the stress and pressure that can be felt.  Adding a doula in labor enhances relationships, helping you build stronger bond together and as a family. #sexyscientificbirth […]
