Status Updates From HypnoBirthing, Fourth Editi...

There is literally no evidence that babies remember birth so jot that down

Yeah she's fully just formula shaming and pretending it's always a choice. Just fully not acknowledging that some people cannot produce enough milk or have to take medication that makes breast feeding unsafe

Do you think Marie knows some babies are literally allergic to their mothers' milk?

Is this bitch about to shame people for formula feeding? Fuck you Marie

"Politely decline any vaginal exams"

Girl you're going to kill someone and their baby

She is yet again fearmongering about medical care for common and potentially fatal complications

This lady fucking loves fake medicine

Fearmongering about epidurals 🙄

She's now insisting that you should ignore medical advice and just listen to your baby because your baby "knows when it's time to be born" and that's so damn dangerous

I know this was originally published in like 1996 or whatever but even then a study from 1973 was outdated so jot that down

Again, birth IS dangerous and pretending it isn't is extremely dangerous and bad

Homeopathy is not real

Gd cis women are so weird about pregnancy

Please do NOT go to a naturopath for your childbirth

This whole book could be titled "Marie gets Weird about Genuinely Useful Advice"

Like she's just talking about genuinely helpful muscle exercises idk why she had to get Weird about it

Weird fetishisation of eastern cultures

Same paragraph written verbatim twice

Full offense but subjecting pregnant people to bullshit food rules about "dirty fruits" is cruel and weird

I really dislike that she keeps talking about people in comas giving birth actually. Very weird and kinda gross

She keeps calling extremely well documented medical phenomena myths I feel like I'm going insane

I genuinely really hate the fearmongering about medical intervention that this lady is doing
