Natural Birth

I am trying to make my birth natural in every way and an easy transition for baby from womb to world.

~A few of the things I am doing are:

Lotus Birth - not cutting or clamping the cord, cord and placenta will fall off in a few days.

Water Labor/Birth - depending on my mood at the time

No Hep B - however your child will need this vaccination at some point in their life if they ever want to go into the medical field. Getting it in the first day of life is not necessary *as long as the mother has been recently tested*

No eye drops


Vitamin K - should be given but it doesn't have to be given in a shot, the shot itself can be given orally but I think you need double the amount because it doesn't get immediately absorbed or something? I don't remember exactly

No bath with soap

Kangaroo Care - skin to skin

Breastfeeding



~For Relaxation I am using:

Birth Ball

Lower Back Massage

Clitoral Massage - Woo! Orgasmic Birth...Look it up it sounds fantastic!

Aromatherapy - in the water and in the form of a spritzer for my face



~Prepping for birth I am doing:

Perineum massage starting from 6 weeks prior to my due date

Visualization of my birth
