Articles created by our project

A home midwife with over 20 years of experience has written about the impact of coronavirus on hospital and home births; statistics on reducing premature births and small-for-date babies, and ‘Eve settings’.

The article contains seven international meta studies on the influence of ultrasound scanning during pregnancy, including an Open Letter of the researcher Beverley L. Beech to the Minister of the State for Health and Social Care, UK, and comments of the world-renowned Ob/Gyns and midwives.

The article presents the results of 38 meta-studies (including randomized controlled trials). Why is childbirth still a business and a dangerous business? Hospital deliveries, birthing centers and hotels.

The Global Birthing Village GRAVITA is the fifth and fundamentally new type of the place for childbirth for the modern world. Located in one of the most environmentally friendly places in the world, GRAVITA includes all the advantages of places for childbirth and eliminates their shortcomings.

For revealing of the needs of Ukrainian women for the reformations of Ukrainian obstetrics system, as well as for the manifestations of them to the key players, we conducted the online survey (from Sept 26 to Nov 20, 2017). The results of the Survey let realise what a place for the childbirth should be to fulfill the women’s needs comprehensively.

In recent times women pay more and more attention to pregnancy and conception, and start to think about the child long before the moment of birth. Such conscious future moms get thoroughly prepared to conceive. That includes all kinds of activities and procedures, not only medical or preventive ones, but also of educational and even spiritual nature.

Home waterbirths can be so happy and healthy. I have been fortunate to assist midwife Marina (editor’s note: Dadasheva-Drown) and to witness many of these ecstatic deliveries. These births were a result of the ‘training’ that the pregnant women undertook with spiritual midwife Marina. The training involves not only the physical but also the mind (especially the mind’s ‘attitude’) and the spirit. The prenatal training is a preparation for labor and delivery and also prepares the mother for vigorous postnatal dynamic gymnastics for baby. Yoga is a very good preparation as is swimming.

In recent years we see an increasing number of people rights violations. Most of these violations are related to healthcare rights, especially in regard to pregnancy, birth and parenting. In this article we will look into the basic legal mistakes that are being made when providing medical assistance in prenatal care and at childbirth. You will be also provided with some research and statistics.

“How can I explain to my husband that I want a child?”, “What if my husband doesn’t want children or is set against having a second child?” — “Ask him, why he married you!” This article of Mikhail Fomin explains the meaning of a family and contains answers to these perturbing questions that manywomen might ask when they desperately want children.

New mothers are willing to go great lengths to ensure that they can breastfeed and that their babies are safe. Sometimes they believe that if they “sacrifice” enough, they will be successful. This “sacrifice” frequently finds expression in long and diverse lists of what breastfeeding mothers can, or rather, cannot eat. Such lists of foods “forbidden” to breastfeeding mothers are found on the internet as well as doctor’s offices and hospitals and when mothers – trying desperately to get everything right – combine them, they end up having very restricted diets that make them desperate and may lead to their questioning whether breastfeeding is really worth it.
