Didn’t know where else to post this so I figured I’d post here as some might appreciate it.
Wife and I just got home yesterday from the hospital after giving birth to our first child, a healthy girl!
The hospital staff was very respectful for our wishes to deny vaccines, Vit K, antibiotic eye cream, etc. my wife wanted to give birth as natural as possible. Unfortunately my wife just wasn’t dilating enough,and the nurses, midwife, and doula spent soooo much time and effort trying different positions and stretches, rather than pushing for epidural + Pitocin.
Unfortunately we did need a c-section, as too much time had passed and infection was becoming a possibility, but I figured it would be worth sharing that not all health professionals are lost to “woke” culture!
Was a great breath of fresh air as we were expecting doctors to come in and give us “the talk”.
Honest question: what's the deal with the Vitamin K and the eye cream?
Is it good, bad, indifferent?
I fully respect OP's choices. I just want to learn more.
Vit K isn't a really vitamin, it has metals just like any vaccine. That's why you avoid it. Women can eat extra kale during pregnancy to avoid a vit k deficiency. A common side effect is it causes jaundice in the baby.
The eye cream is completely useless. It causes blocked tear ducts, which are excruciating to deal with in an infant.
You also want to avoid the heel prick. They'll bully that one, believe me. They'll tell you your baby could die if they don't get tested for a super dangerous genetic disease. What they don't tell you is you would already know if it ran in your family, and what they really do is store the blood sample on file at the state level. They've done this for generations and have everyone's dna on file. They don't make it easy for you to make them destroy your file either if you are smart enough to find out about it.
