Unbelievable delivery ( UC ) refers to the deliberate birth process without the aid of a medical-borne officer. It can also be known as freebirth , DIY (do-it-yourself) born , uninterrupted birth > homeless without help .
Unemployed childbirth is based on the definition of the planned process, and thus differs from unattended births for emergency reasons, lack of access to skilled birth attendants, or others. It also differs from birth at home, although most UCs do happen inside the house.
Vital Statistics Canada defines "unattended/no" births as births performed without a registered medical officer, irrespective of what other birth professionals can do (doulas, dukun or dukun bayi, etc.) Many "without assistance "birth involves the presence of a non-medical birth attendant, although the definition of unassisted birth sometimes means that only family or peers are present and there is no professional support at all.

Histori
The UC movement grew out of, and was an extension of the natural birth movement, a pioneer that included Grantly Dick-Read, Robert A. Bradley, and Fernand Lamaze. UC's influential supporters include Marilyn A. Moran, Jeannine Parvati Baker, and Laura K. Shanley.
Moran, who co-authored several UC advocacy books, was motivated primarily by a strong belief that childbirth is a very personal sexual experience, to be shared only among intimates. This conviction took him in 1972, after nine conventional births, to give birth to his eleventh and final child with only her husband present at their home.
Parvati Baker, a yogini, writer, poet, herbalist, and "spiritual midwife", coined the term freebirth to describe UC. After the birth of his first three children, and at Moran's encouragement, he began training and advocating UC, speaking at conferences, giving interviews in various media, and writing extensively on the issue. The next three children were sent only with their spouse present.
Shanley, a writer, poet, and self-born consultant, is the author of the book Unassisted Childbirth (1993), which helped popularize the practice. Inspired by Dick-Read's writings, Shanley, who had no formal training in gynecology or midwifery, gave birth to her five children alone without help and without prenatal care. Four of them survived; Shanley's fourth child, born four weeks prematurely in his bathroom, died several hours later due to heart defects, pneumonia, and sepsis.
In response to the recent growth in interest in unlawful childbirth, several national medical societies, including the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, have issued loud public statements that warn against such practices. Professional midwives associations, including the Royal College of Midwives and the American College of Nurse-Midwives are also wary of UC.

General reasons and motivations
Reasons and motivations for choosing childbirth without help vary greatly from mother to mother; those most frequently cited in the nursing care literature and advocacy sites include the belief that birth is a normal function of the female body and therefore not a medical emergency. Another belief is that most of the interventions commonly used by the medical profession during birth cause more harm than good in normal births, that the mother would be more apt to follow the natural flow of her birth individually in an uninterrupted birth arrangement, thus allowing her to find the optimal position or technique for childbearing safely, and the view that birth is an intimate, sexual, and potentially orgasmic experience, and the belief that privacy is essential to allow this erotic dimension.
Advocates believe that unaided birth raises a significant increase in the mother's feelings and the ability of the mother to bond with and be responsible for her child's well-being. Some followers can not find a born practitioner who is willing to attend the birth of the house they want. In many areas of the United States, there are no midwives or doctors available to assist in deliveries at home. Likewise, women can find their specific cases of difficulty in finding willing practitioners, as is usually the case with vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC).
Type
Without help with friends and/or family : Although unattended births do not include the use of medical personnel or birth attendants in a professional capacity, women who give birth may still want to have others present at birth. This may include a spouse, a close friend of a mother, grandparents, or other family members. These people can take on various roles such as taking care of other children in the family, preparing food, making sure the mother remains undisturbed by phone calls, etc.
Couple Birth : A woman giving birth and her partner may want to be alone together for the birth of their child. Some couples who choose unprotected birth regard birth as a refinement or extension of their married life. In the case of wanting to have a happy birth or orgasm, a high degree of privacy is required. Others may regard birth as an intimate bonding time between their newborn partner and child.
Solo Birth : Some women choose to give birth completely alone. They may retreat to the room by themselves at the time of birth and then bring their spouses in the future; or they may remain alone in their homes or at other locations. Women who choose birth without a single aid may see birth as a very personal process, or may feel they have all the resources they need through their intuition.
Freebirth: Deliver unattended health care providers. Sometimes it is used synonymously with "unaided birth", and is sometimes used to describe any birth without the presence of a licensed medical professional, regardless of who may or may not be present in a supportive role.
Prenatal birth and prenatal care
With regard to medical pregnancy care, two broad categories are recognized by unlucky childbirth supporters:
Assisted : Many women who plan unexpected births choose to have professional prenatal care as part of their birth preparation. This may include routine prenatal visits with your doctor or midwife monitoring. Seeking help from a doctor or midwife may make it possible to find risk factors that may make unexpected births not recommended, such as placenta pravia. Professional prenatal care can also help identify manageable risk factors so that unattended births can continue as planned. Rather than following the traditional prenatal care schedule, some women may also choose selective prenatal care.
No help : Some women who choose UC also choose to have a pregnancy without medical help; ie they do not visit doctors or other birth professionals for prenatal care. There are potentially life-threatening consequences because there is no medical follow-up if there are complications.
Prevalence
United States : National Center for Health Statistics reports that of the 4.1 million babies born in the United States in 2004, more than 7,000 were born at home with no midwives or doctors present. It is unknown what part of this birth, roughly equivalent to one sixth of 1% of the country's total annual, occurs by choice.
Australia : It is not known how many women in Australia are delivering at home because of the option without medical help. Home births in Australia represent only 0.25 percent of all births, with the majority being done with the help of midwives.
Risk
Unemployed childbirth has been associated with substantially increased maternal and neonatal mortality rates. One of the few, and perhaps the only, formal investigations of mortality rates associated with the practice was undertaken by the Indiana State Council of Health in 1984, among members of the religious community in Indiana. Investigations found the perinatal mortality rate 2.7 times higher, and maternal mortality was 97 times higher than the state average. In this community, pregnant women do not receive prenatal medical treatment and are delivered at home without medical assistance. This community not only avoids prenatal medical care but also all medical care.
According to the president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Thomas Purdon, twenty percent of all previous normal pregnancies turn into complications and high-risk situations during labor that can lead to serious adverse outcomes in mothers and infants, including death..
Controversy
The controversy over UC practice is largely centered on what it is, as claimed by supporters, the method of safe childbirth. Critics of UC, such as the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC), claim that unattended labor is unsafe enough, and that those involved in it are "dating hazards". A spokesman for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued a one-word assessment of freedom of labor: "dangerous". SOGC notes that more than 500,000 women worldwide die each year from complications during childbirth, and even in developed countries, where pregnant women generally receive complete prenatal care, as many as 15% of all births involve potentially fatal complications. In poorer countries where there are nutritional and taboo conditions around labor or there is a lack of qualified birth attendants, maternal and infant mortality rates and complications such as fistulas are much higher, with disparities in maternal mortality rates between developing and developing. countries approaching two major orders. Critics also point to the high rates of complications and deaths that arise from labor that existed before the development of modern medicine: between 10 and 15 deaths per 1,000 births.
UC supporters have responded to these criticisms by emphasizing that labor is not a disease, but a natural, physiological process that requires proper nutrition, hygiene, self-care before birth, and psychological preparation. They claim that both throughout history and in the poorest regions of the world today are not the lack of medical aid, but the poverty and nutritional conditions that cause maternal deaths become major health problems. Rakhets, for example, are prevalent in undernourished female girls, resulting in pelvic deformation and increased likelihood of bleeding in anemic scenarios. Proponents say that women who plan unemployed birth today (many of whom give birth to their second or third child, with a 'proven' pelvis), do so with much information and self-care, and are better prepared than most women who depend on providers to give birth to their child.
Some supporters also claim that modern maternal mortality rates in American hospitals are often obscured by being tracked statistically under 'anesthesiology'. However, evidence suggests that if this really happened, this practice is unlikely to account for more than a small proportion of maternal deaths: one study of maternal mortality records total total maternal deaths were recorded as coming from related complications anesthesia is only 5.2%. A study of maternal deaths associated with anesthesia in the United States between 1979 and 2002 found that the mortality of maternal deaths caused by anesthesia was only 1.6%, and that the share had fallen 59% between the time period examined.
Another aspect of this response has also been questioned by scientific research. First, the analysis of historical data from Europe and the United States concludes that in developed countries, the predominant determinants of maternal deaths before 1937, and their decline since the 1930s, were poverty and associated malnutrition, but the overall standard of maternal care provided by birth attendants.
Secondly, with respect to UC's claim that unsupported birth is a natural process, researchers in the field of paleoanthropology have asserted that assisted childbirth is, in fact, a major evolutionary aspect of humanity, and possibly today. back as far as five million years when the first human ancestors began to walk upright.
Joyous Joy
On March 27, 2009, Janet Fraser, UC's leading advocate and national organizer of the highly popular Joyous Birth website, lost her child during childbirth assisted by her partner and a female friend. In a previous five-day interview with The Sunday Age, Fraser, in the early stages of labor at the time, stated that he had not been there during his pregnancy consulted with a health professional, and that he intended to have a baby at home. without a midwife present. The cause of death is reported as a heart attack. The coronal inquiry concluded in 2012 that Roisin Fraser's death was the result of complications caused by cable entanglement, almost certainly if birth had been in the maternity unit, and might have been prevented if the birth at home had been attended by registered patients. midwife. It also found that Fraser's claim of "rebirth" during his first birth followed a home birth plan attended by a midwife, in which Fraser himself requested to be transferred to the hospital for epidural anesthesia, and then requested a caesarean birth without medical indication and on medical advice.
