The basic fact is that no one can "give" power to another- it comes from within; it's not external.Joyce in the mts.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09238418776870910561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697400612550943121.post-83086793645664099292011-02-10T18:51:43.295-08:002011-02-10T18:51:43.295-08:00I have read it.

I have absolutely no issues with physiologic pushing - when the BODY takes over and begins pushing. And this may be at 7cm, or it may be at 10. A Midwife shouldn't KNOW what a woman's cervix is open to though. There shouldn't be hands inside of a vagina during a normal labor. The videos, and the first-hand accounts all back up that Powerbirth is NOT about physiologic birth. It is about control on the part of the Midwife. Forced pushing before mom has the ejection reflex, manual dilation, and violent tugging of the baby's head.<br /><br />I don't have any issue with the article. I have issues with the deception behind it.Christine Fiscer, Birthkeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620390732672123849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697400612550943121.post-66430221590405162762011-02-10T18:14:32.769-08:002011-02-10T18:14:32.769-08:00Please read this article...
