Re: help please with refusing Vit K and eye ointment

[Guest guest]

Alison you are awesome I had my second and 3rd child

at home. The 2nd one was a water birth and the 3rd

was a " semi-water birth " She came so quick I had to

catch her myself but it was awesome it empowered me

and I feel great about it. She is 5 weeks old. The

CNM went downstairs to steralize the surgical

scissors, my almost 12 year old daughter left the

bathroom and my sister walked in just as I had

finishing delivering her. The whole thing was a riot.

It was great I (she) shocked everyone and I missed

catching it on video. But it will play in my memory

for a very long time.

I was determined to catch this baby, name the sex, and

have a water-birth with very little people around and

that is exactly what God had blessed me with. Also

refused Vit. K and eye ointment. She tried to scare

us about the sexual disease. I retreated by saying I

have not had sex in 8 months. That was the end of

that.

Kudos for you I had my baby just the way I wanted

because I set my mind to it and prayed for it a lot.

In Western NY there is no more CNM doing it anymore in

fact my birth was the 2nd to the last birth that this

midwife (a replacement for the original midwife) was

to do until they change the laws in NYS. So sad, but

true!

So if I ever decided on baby # 4 it will be an

unassisted birth for sure... with maybe a paid doula,

but definately will not have baby's in the hospital.

" When we give government

the power to make medical decisions

for us, we, in essence, accept that

the state owns our bodies. "

The Nuremberg Code (to which NZ is a signatory) describes Informed Choice as:

- A choice made on the basis of adequate information concerning research and all

available alternatives.

- A choice made without controlling influences such as force, fraud, deceit,

duress, over-reaching or other forms of constraint or coercion.

Does this not apply to us?
