Just Breathe Childbirth Education

Copied and posted this from my midwife. Not looking for debate, just reflecting..... Back in early 2000's I attended conferences that included full-day seminars with Dr. Michel Odent, famed French obstetrician who pioneered non-interventive water birth and promoted midwifery care. I literally sat at his feet listening to him talk about the future of humanity as he called it and the impact of the "Prenatal period". He said in 2002 that in 10-20 years we would be seeing an... escalation of violence, mental illness, autism spectrums and detachment disorders. At that time we were already beginning to see the early stages of second and third generations who suffered what he called 'Disturbed births'. It started with the scopolamine generations of our Grandmothers, the Twilight Sleep of our Mothers and the Pitocin, Epidural and Cesarean births of our generations. His research showed how these interventions greatly impacted maternal and newborn bonding, brain development and the ability to cope with daily living because at the MOST critical time of life - moments and hours just before and after being born, the baby's brain was not receiving the necessary hormones. By 2012 we knew about Gut Health and the Microbiome of birth and how necessary it was for the neonate to be exposed to the mother's flora. It has been his work that impacted my mission and practice the most. Dr. Odent said we'd be able to look back and it would be like putting shards of broken glass back together again - and the mirror would reflect how we were being born. The autism spectrum and detachment disorders have increased 80% since 2000. The same can be said about the other things he taught on. Sadly he was so very right. There are a lot of people pondering the WHY's of all the violence around us when we need to maybe spend a little time going through Dr. Odents massive amounts of research and think about the future generations, and how our survival as a civilized society might just depend on the future of birthing women and babies.
