SUMMARY

     

SUMMARY

 
Through the Imagery Birthing Program, the number of C-Sections were only 4, or a percentage of only 5.25%  

56 Natural Childbirths = 73.68%

  13 Pitocin & Epidural = 17.11%
  3 Epidural Only = 3.95%
            4 Pitocin Only = 5.26%
*NOTE:  Several mothers stated: "I felt that I was coached and even forced into having medical intervention due to the fact that the staff and/or nurses really were not knowledgeable or even concerned with my 'Natural Birthing' wishes and desire!"

Virtually all stated that if they could do it over again... they would've insisted that their Natural Childbirth "Choice" and "Desire" be complied with!  They said that they will positively do that... with their next Imagery Birthing Baby!
