We are having a natural birth at home in the next week. My wife and I have written a new blog for Fathers … and mothers, to be. We would love for you to check it out, and share if you choose.

Again, thanks for the info on the proper way to go about cutting the cord. We look forward to implementing your advice. Thanks

Love and Gratitude!

Not because thats how the hospital wanted it to be but because I did not want drugs and they did not believe me I was in labor and the birth took place too fast to even hook up an IV. One of my concerns is about the umbilical cord…If one was to give birth alone at home or elsewhere but was too afraid to cut the umbilical cord themselves; how long can they wait for a midwife or other Medical Help to arrive before it becomes harmful to the Baby???

My first child, born in a maternity unit in 1969, survived anyway, despite the unnecessary medical interventions. The other 6, born over the following 20 years, all benefitted from being born as (I believe) nature intended.

We watched her for the first four days playing with the cord through her fingers and toes… running her tiny feet up and down the drying cord. and on the fourth day at came apart, and it felt like the next phase…we were all ready to say good bye to the placenta!
Cheers Tatum
