Umbillical Cords Work Overtime With Placenta
"When baby is born, this cord continues to function, providing the baby with not only blood and oxygen –but providing baby TIME! Time to transition to air breathing, experiencing the changes that babies go through at birth. As long as that cord is pulsing, it’s working for the baby the exact same way it did before the baby came out." -excerpt from article:

Haunted Houses, Rollercoasters, and Birth
Halloween just passed, and with all the haunted houses and theme parks boasting about an array of terrifying themes, and death-defying rides they posess, it got me thinking of how backwards we have become as a society. We crave being truly terrified, it seems. We actually go out of our way to be as scared as possible. As a matter of fact, we will PAY hard-earned money in order to achieve this! It makes me wonder if we are so out of tune with the power in just truly living life that we have to create these extreme scenarios to verbal rush. I have no background in anthropology- nor do I want one- but I do have to wonder how we got here. I'm a chicken. I'm the first to admit it! I have no interest in any of that. I like thrilling rides, but nothing that makes me question if I'm going to make it. I don't like going upside-down. Call me boring, that's fine!
I just don't understand the appeal of those things contrasted with the fear of birth. Birth is safe! It can be amazingly thrilling too! As a matter of fact, I would say labor and birth is just as thrilling, exhillerating, terrifying and amazing as any ride or theme park experience, plus empowering, memorable emotional, and life-altering. Just sayin'.

Aritcle watch: Guess what?! Babies are unhappy and stressed when away from mom!
Proof that not only can you NOT spoil a baby, but also that not having them close to you causes them physical distress. The things poor babies are put through! As consumers, WE can change things. If we demand better or let practitioners know we will be taking our business elsewhere, they are forced to be different. Let's create a better world for babies. ---> Maternal separation stresses the baby, research finds
