Disclaimer: I am not a doctor.... I am a doula who has witnessed a plethora of births both completely undisturbed at home and induction at hospital. I come from a place of seeing the hospital births being scarier and less natural. The lies are unnecessary and unneeded. They happen to coerce women into speeding things up and rushing the process because hospitals have zero patience with birth. This is my observation. I see better birth outcomes at home. That is fact.
The most recent home birth transfer to a hospital had me baffled by the amount of LIES I heard. This was into midwifery care in the hospital as well. Some that I heard were...
-"The wireless monitor doesn't pick up the contractions as well as the wired one" (these monitors are not an accurate device at all at measuring if a mother is having contractions/how strong and I see it being used as a gas lighting tool far too often to push intervention)
-"The baby's accelerations with the contraction is a sign that the baby is OP" (sunny side up)
-"Pitocin does not stress the baby out and is the exact same thing as Oxytocin"
-"A baby NEEDS to be stressed out before being born to help open their lungs" (this one had me fuming)
-"With Preeclampsia the blood pressure can go up and down even if it stays down you still have it" (after I hydrated mom and her BP never once shot over 120/70 for the rest of birth 30+ hours)
-"Contractions slowing down is bad"
I am still upset that many women across the world experience these lies as well as many other lies to manipulate them into complying. Please please empower yourself to "spot the lies". This is how you advocate for yourself.
