In this insightful video, Amandha Vollmer (ADV) highlights the compelling findings from farm midwife data, focusing on Ina May Gaskin’s work in Texas. This research demonstrates a very low need for emergency services in thousands of home births.
Amandha emphasizes the importance of possessing essential knowledge and preparing for a peaceful birth, contrasting this approach with the fear-inducing methods often observed in the conventional medical system.
Sharing her own experience of becoming pregnant at 36, Amandha criticizes the overly medicalized approach of some midwives. This includes an unnecessary emphasis on ultrasounds, Doppler tests, and exaggerated concerns over the risk of having a child with birth defects due to maternal age.
Amandha advocates for a return to a more natural, body-supportive approach to childbirth, suggesting that this could mitigate the complications arising from medical interventions.
