Live
childbirth streaming video shows how holistic caregivers are interested
in a broad picture of women's wellbeing during pregnancy and birth.
They focus on the 80-90 % of healthy experiences and promote trust in
the natural process of pregnancy and birth.
Many doctors tend to view pregnancy and childbirth
as a medical case. Their aim is to 'ward off' potential health risks
to the mother and baby. They use vaginal monitoring, make the mother
lie on her back, attach to her medical technology and administer drugs
in their enthusiasm to improve upon the natural processes. They believe
that this will improve the health outcome for the mother and baby.
This intervention, however, is not supported by statistics and careful
scientific research.
Midwifes and doulas provide care across the continuum
from conception to parenthood. Their work addresses the emotional,
spiritual, as well as physical dimensions of the parents' experiences.
