BIRTH LIKE A MAMMAL™
Birth Like a Mammal™ is a community created for both parents and doulas. Lindsay has over a decade of professional doula experience supporting families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Combined with her B.S. in Animal Science, Lindsay is an expert on mammalian birth. Most of what is taking place in hospital L&D units is not in alignment with mammalian biology, and the complications that arise during and from giving birth can be prevented or avoided altogether by simply giving birth like a mammal.
BIRTH LIKE A MAMMAL™
Episode 1: Birth and Pitocin
We are kicking off this first episode discussing Pitocin and how that affects Mothers and babies during labor, birth, and even afterwards. Often when Pitocin is administered to induce or augment labor, women are not fully informed on the risks associated.
In this first episode, we cover:
• how oxytocin and pitocin relate to one another
• the difference between pitocin and oxytocin
• the relationship between oxytocin and adrenaline
• the affects of pitocin on a laboring uterus
•the affects of pitocin on a baby during labor
• the affects of pitocin after birth
• the relationship between pitocin and postpartum hemorrhage
• the affects of pitocin on lactation and nursing
Somehow all other mammal species birth babies every single day without the use of Pitocin. Humans are mammal and we are designed to birth as mammals.
