OTHER IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF PRE-NATAL CARE
Fitness and Lifestyle
Birth is a physical process. Do some gentle exercise daily such as walking. Vigorous exercise is neither needed nor helpful in almost all cases. Learn how to relax if this is difficult for you. Get plenty of rest and sleep, and make the decision to love yourself more every day. Do your best to make your home and work environments safe, quiet, happy and low-stress.
Drugs
Forego alcohol and recreational drugs. Alcohol not only kills brain cells and destroys your peace of mind. It depletes zinc and magnesium, two minerals often in short supply and critical for a healthy young baby.
Medications
Avoid over-the-counter or prescription medications unless absolutely needed. According to a 2009 report entitled Death By Medicine, modern drug medical care is now the leading cause of death in America. Always try natural remedies first. During pregnancy, or even if you remotely believe you are pregnant, be very careful with any drugs, and even herbs, even if prescribed by a doctor or naturopath. They may not realize that it is not safe for mothers carrying developing children in their wombs.
Toxic Chemicals
Carefully throw away all toxic cleaning chemicals, insecticides, pesticides, toxic paints, and other poisons in your home and work space. There are safe alternatives for most of these. As much as possible, surround yourself with natural materials, use natural-fiber clothing, and make sure homes and work areas are well-ventilated.
Loose Sexual Behavior At Any Time
Being loose is a killer of your health. Young men and women who do this always pick up sexually transmitted infections, no matter how much you deny it. Most STDs cannot be treated with medical methods or natural methods. They just stay there, growing slowly until they reach the brain and vital organs and sap your strength and that of your children. This is the truth about STDs, and I am sorry that doctors, parents and others either don’t know the truth, or don’t care enough to warn you.
If you are wise, do not have steady boyfriends or girlfriends in high school and even in college. Dating is not important in high school or college (I know some will think I’m crazy for saying this, but it is true.) Group activities are much better and much, much safer.
Do You Have A Good, Strong Marriage?
Look at your relationship carefully. Is it stable? Some people falsely think that having a baby will fix a bad marriage. It never does, in my experience.
So ask yourself honestly, before having a child, whether this the man or the woman, perhaps, you want to be the parent of your child? If not, begin counseling or make another choice now, rather than get stuck later with a child and a partner who is immature or otherwise non-supportive. This is very important. Do not allow romance or even feeling sorry for a partner to blind you. Once again, having children usually does not fix a bad relationship.
Also, religious and spiritual values become much more important when a child is involved. Now is the time to think about the values you and your partner will teach your child. Be sure the two of you are “on the same page” with some important things in life, such as your spiritual values, parenting style, whether to vaccinate the child, how to feed your child nutritiously, the use of medical drugs, and whether you will home school the child, send the child to a private school or another school. All of these are good to think about right now, not when you are pregnant or later. Start researching these issues now. This website can help a lot.
Are You Financially Able to Have a Child?
Having a baby means you will not or should not work as much. You should stay home with the baby for at least three or four years. Also, the best idea is to home school your child, and this means even more time off work. Can you afford this? Plan ahead, if possible, and save some money. Having a child is always a little bit risky, as things can go wrong that cost money to fix. So plan things, rather than allow them to happen haphazardly.
Are you Willing to Socially Support Another Family Member And Is At Least One Parent Willing To Stay Home With a Child?
Babies need a lot of love. Dropping them off at daycare centers, even if it is “free”, is not ideal. Daycare centers often spread disease, for example.
Where to Have Your Baby
You have options, in many cases, where to have your baby. Unfortunately, hospitals are not the safest places to have a baby. This is proven by statistics. Here are some strong suggestions:
1. If At All Possible, Have your Child Outside of a Regular Hospital. While some hospitals have a good record, many are just not as safe or as clean as having a baby at home if it is a low-risk pregnancy. Some birthing centers are better than hospitals, especially if they are away from a big hospital. However, they still tend to grab your baby, vaccinate your baby without your knowledge, and do other things that are very bad, at times.
2. If You Can, Use a Midwife, Doula or Birth Attendant, Even If You Have a Regular Doctor, Too.
3. If you must go to a hospital for any reason, or even a birthing center, always have someone other than the doctor present at all times to keep an eye on you and on everything around you. This is not always possible, but a wonderful idea. Always ask a lot of questions and do not just accept short answers if you are not satisfied.
4. Have the Minimum Amount of Drugs During Your Pregnancy & Delivery.
5. Learn About The Dangers of Vaccines NOW, Not When Your Baby is Born.
Read about Vaccination on this website, and do not allow yourself to be talked into anything you do not want.
6. Do NOT Allow the Hospital to Vaccinate your Child Before Leaving the Hospital.
It is standard procedure now in most hospitals. Remember that after the birth, you are likely to be weak and tired. So give prior written instructions about vaccines, breastfeeding and drugs, perhaps. I would also have someone stay with your baby at all times to make sure no medicine or vaccines are given without your approval. Do not be railroaded on this issue. The baby’s life or health may be at stake.
7. Also Learn NOW About Natural Ways to Deal with Children’s Infections, Parenting Skills and Alternatives to Traditional Schooling.
All these can be vital to learn now, not later.
8. Preferably Breastfeed Your Baby at the Hospital, Rather than Allow Them to Give Your Baby “Formula”.
Most of it is absolute junk. This can be critical for your baby’s future digestive health. Babies mostly need rest and sleep after the birth. They are exhausted as well. Try to enable the baby to rest a lot in a darkened area with no noise right after birth. They do not need to be fed soon after birth, and it is likely to make them sick.
9. Leave All Hospitals & Birthing Centers As Soon As Possible
There are too many infections around hospitals, in particular, and unfortunately mix-ups, bungling and mistakes are made that could jeopardize the health of your baby, and your own health. Most homes are much safer, and statistics prove it.
