More than 1/3rd of unplanned c-sections that occur in the United States are due to women “Failing to Progress” during their labor. This statistic is upsetting. If mothers were properly educated on labor, birth, and their rights during the entire process, the statistic would be drastically lower. A failure to progress generally means a failure to wait, a failure to allow the woman’s body to work, and a failure to let a woman own her body.

Let’s Talk Vitamin K and Newborns
Vitamin K is necessary for normal blood clotting in adults and children. But newborns are different. They are not born with sufficient amounts of the vitamin.
You have in your arms a beautiful child already, maybe more than one. You are all happy and healthy, but something about your previous birth haunts you. Something says, “I want to do it different next time.”

The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists released a document yesterday that discusses the healthy laboring mother and how to help her have a successful birth.

This article is based on medical research, real studies, and information that you can read like I have. I wanted to present it all in an easier to read way. Informed decisions are yours to make. You have the RIGHT to have all the information, and the RIGHT to choose what is best for you. I am not a doctor; I am a medical research writer, which means I read all.the.things. I have denied GBS testing for my last four babies after doing my research. While most birth teams “require” you to be tested, it is ultimately your decision.
