Many common medical procedures, Dr. Christiane Northrup declares, are causing harm to babies and mothers.
“Long, long, long ago, I knew that how we are born absolutely determines all kinds of things in our lives,” said Dr. Christiane Northrup in a recent interview. Holding a board certification in OB-GYN, Dr. Northrup has dedicated the past thirty years to making the child birthing process as mother and father-empowered as possible.
Dr. Northrup has been a profound critic of conventional medicine. “Most women do not need any of the numerous interventions, mechanical and drug-mediated, that make childbirth in this country resemble a medical emergency rather than a normal physiological event,” she contends.
“Birth interventions that bypass the normal processes of labor and birth are the equivalent of clamping the umbilical cord before the baby has had a chance to adjust to breathing on her own,” wrote Dr. Northrup back in 2007. And that is just one of many common medical procedures, Dr. Northrup declares, that are causing harm to babies and mothers.
Here are some more objectionable practices, according to Dr. Northrup:
• Flu and DPT shots for pregnant women – “There is no science, not one study that shows that’s a good idea.”
• Electronic fetal monitoring – “There’s not a single study that shows that [electronic] fetal monitoring does anything except increase the C-section rate.”
