bacteria in oceans lakes rivers etc runs rampant. people get flesh eating bacteria disease just from going into bodies of water with a slight open wound. that though....nah. bad.

แดŠแด€แด„แด‹แด˜แดแด›
yeah tbh i'd be more concerned for mom than baby as far as infections and bacteria are concerned
แดŠแด€แด„แด‹แด˜แดแด›
but still concerned for both, particularly if there wasn't a licensed professional on stand-by

The wannabe mama mermaid said she was inspired to do a โ€œfree birthโ€ โ€” meaning unassisted childbirth โ€” in the sea because she wanted to show what the female body could do on its own, sans traditional medical intervention.
แดŠแด€แด„แด‹แด˜แดแด›
yeah, no, that's not okay
แดŠแด€แด„แด‹แด˜แดแด›
like i am v supportive of deciding to do home births, but under supervision
proั‚oะฒadger
okay so do what the less crazy still weird people do and do it in a hospital supervised tub or something

god i hate this โ€œbirths should never be assistedโ€ good for you linda we have a history of bad births in my family even before modern medicine
ะฒัปส‚ส‚ ฦšฦฐส€ฮบ
also that woman does NOT look like she is only 27 which is her age according to that article

i think iโ€™m the only child of my dadโ€™s that went to term and my mom and her maternal family had rh factor!!! pregnancy is fucking difficult

"Peukert, who moved to Nicaragua from Germany" god somehow this makes everything make complete sense

also nice that her husband is in his 40s and she's allegedly 27
๏ผณ๏ผซ๏ผฅ๏ผฌ๏ผฅ๏ผฒ๏ผฅ๏ผฎ
they have seven children...

I think her white lady dreads are giving her extreme traction alopecia, from the pics in that article...

good lord no
antler queen
there's a fucking open wound in your uterus afterward
Shan-aconda
Yeah water births are a safe and normal thing... but not like this...
antler queen
you're not even supposed to take a bath for a few days
Shan-aconda
This just weird that kids microbiom is going to be insane

yeah that just seems like a super unnecessary risk to both the child and mother like its great that it seems that there was no damage done but there could've been....
Shan-aconda
There is no fucking way sheโ€™s 27
ะฒัปส‚ส‚ ฦšฦฐส€ฮบ
i'm having a hard time believing she's only 27, too
fu mr milkshake
I feel like this is a middle finger to literally hundreds of years of research and development and progress in health care to make pregnancy and childbirth safer for women but sure, ignore all that to just pop out the kid in one of the most contaminated environments
Shan-aconda
I'd be money on her being an Anti Vaxxer as well

โ€œThis time I had no doctors appointments or scans or outside influence."

talk about unneeded risk

" because she wanted to show what the female body could do on its own, sans traditional medical intervention." I mean statistically the answer to that question was "die"...

what the mortality and morbidity risk
antler queen
god this makes me SO MAD
antler queen
I only managed to have my first child bc they could inject me with pitocin to make it happen before I got too exhausted or the baby started to have issues, and it still took 48 damn hours
antler queen
AND he had meconium in with him so they had to make sure he didn't inhale it so as not to have major lung problems. And that was a totally. routine. birth.
antler queen
she and her baby are fine via sheer dumb fucking luck and I wanna yell at her grrr
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
this is a weird and terrible trend and it's INCREDIBLY dangerous

i guess i'm just kind of like... pregnancy and birth are already risky even in a hospital, with doctors - doing it in the freaking ocean with just your husband when you could... not do that... why?
๐—๐—ˆ๐—ˆ ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰ ๐—๐—ˆ ๐—Œ๐—‚๐—†๐—‰
"oh but women gave birth without hospitals for centuries" but like... why would you want to do that and put you and the baby at even more risk when you ... don't have to??
ะฒัปส‚ส‚ ฦšฦฐส€ฮบ
Women also died at a much higher rate for centuries giving birth but they like to leave that detail out
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ

these are the same people that love to say breast is best without regard for individual circumstances and whether or not the mother is actually capable of breastfeeding lmao
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
MORE medical/hospital care has saved women and babies from dire results and the 'higher' maternal/infant mortality rate in the US is very much a problem of lower class and POC women being unable to access that care OR get taken seriously when something is wrong!
proั‚oะฒadger
I never want to give birth or anything but like lmao I cannot understand not wanting to have the safety net of all the medical advancements and lifesaving techniques that doctors these days now have
proั‚oะฒadger
by all means do your no epidural natural whatever stuff if you want, but not in the fucking ocean. have a doctor there, have a real plan
proั‚oะฒadger
don't just drop a newborn out into the ocean and glamorize that like it's not dangerous
StupidSexyVโš der
she blames it on birth trauma but repeatedly got pregnant after the first one and rather than get HELP
fu mr milkshake
also, there have been a lot more advancements that can make births easier so yeah, women can do it 'naturally' but like why go throguh that when you can make it easier on yourself/the baby
antler queen
honestly I had a ton of birth trauma due to the OB on duty having a completely awful bedside manner among other things, but I still went back to the same hospital and practice bc their reputation was stellar and I wanted us both healthy
StupidSexyVโš der
my sister at 16 was flat out abused by her OB (given Tylenol for pain. told an epidural would kill her baby. the doctor told the nurse that if her made "these stupid slurs suffer enough they'd stop spreading their legs") and yeah. she went back to that hospital for no2 and the twins

alexipharmaca: yes and in fact a much better experience with the same OB; he was just having a day I guess!
