The Best Time In The History of Childbirth
You are so lucky! You live today! Considering the history of childbirth, your chances of having a safe, healthy, happy
pregnancy and delivery are better today then at any other time!
What makes today better? Knowledge.
Knowledge is what makes the difference. In times past, knowledge about pregnancy and childbirth were usually limited to stories,
tales, and personal experience. Information was very localized. It came from the people immediately around you.
Now we live in a day when information is available right at our fingertips! It is shared throughout the world by books,
TV, internet, and more. As we share our experiences and knowledge, childbirth becomes less strange and more familiar. We can
gain hope, encouragement, and confidence. We can share and talk about our fears and concerns. Together we are making the most
of our childbirth experiences.
Medical advances are at their best. Prenatal care helps to catch potential problems before they become a problem.
Doctors are able to offer a variety of life saving procedures. Hospitals and birthing centers
are becoming more family friendly every day. Labor can be done in these facilities naturally and safely and “just in case”, help
is still there if you need it.
Women are living in better circumstances today then in times past. Most are better nourished,
not as overworked(though I know many who would object to that statement), and most have the basic necessities of life available.
So do not be afraid. You are lucky! There has never been a better time in the history of childbirth to be having a baby!
Enjoy this site and I hope you too will be able to enjoy giving birth! It is a wonderful, not to be missed, experience!
