Multitude of Associations help to promote Natural Vaginal Births

There are already many existing associations that are promoting Natural Vaginal Births ridden of the medicalized technologies that take away the essence of birth both for mother and child. One of these associations is Midwifery Today who have an electronic newsletter as well as a magazine. They sponsor Conferences worldwide with top physicians and health professionals that respect the sanctity of birth. You can contact Nicolle Tritten at admin@midwiferytoday.com You have Barbara Harper with her Waterbirth International association that holds International Congresses worldwide and works closely with countries such a Russia, The Netherlands, Belgium, England, Scotland, Spain, France, South America, Mexico, the United States, China and now Turkey promoting the benefits of Natural Birth. barbara@waterbirth.org
You have Dr. Michel Odent with his 25 years experience at Pithivers, France and the numerous books he has written already published in several languages, not to mention his Primal Health Research Institute based in London, England. modent@aol.com


You will find many chapters of dedicated “doulas” and “midwives” who give Prenatal and Perinatal classes to young parents to be and work with them not only in preparation for a healthy birth but with all of the health and emotional aspects of motherwood. One of these is Nacer y Crecer in Monterrey, México www.nacerycrecer.com.mx An this is only one of the many associations which have been working for many years to re educate the public to respect the innate intelligence of our bodies in giving birth and also to educate the public as to the importance of the first hour for bonding between child and mother – which does not happen in hospitals.

An International Congress is being held in Oaxtepec, México from the 1st to the 4th of July called “La Naturaleza del Nacimiento”, one of the sponsors being Midwives Alliance of North America. www.naturalezadelnacimiento.sistemex.net

And to give you an example of the power of education in our center AMAYAL, Centro Educacional de la Salud para el Bienestar Humano, A.C. based in Monterrey, México where the index of C-Section is now at 85%, one single gynecologist respectful of natural vaginal birth who joined the cause now has 4 more gynecologists, not to mention pediatricians who promote 100% the natural birthing and are getting ready to form their own Birthing Center to get away from all of the political dealings they have to put up in a Hospital in order to allow a mother to be respect and birth in the natural manner in which Nature intended.

If you would like many more stories I would be happy to connect you with the right people. I would also commend highly the education on the formation of Emotional Intelligence that is taking place through a wonderful team of Psychologists who specialize in Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and who have written many books, backed by science on the subject. The formation of Emotional Intelligence starts at conception and a key influence is the way one is born. Wendy McCarty PhD www.wondrousbeginnings.com is just one of many.
