A famous obstetrician-gynecologist from France said that in the next few decades women will definitively stop giving birth to their children on their own, and this will be caused by modern medicine.
Michel Oden, a world-famous specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, said that women lose their natural ability to reproduce children, and this is due to medical advances and frequent interventions in the generic process.
Michel Auden for more than 80 years, he was famous for his invention for the birth of genera - generic basins. Also, Auden published the book "Do we need midwives," in which it was suggested that over time women will be able to give birth only with the help of specialists, as doctors increasingly interfere in the generic process and contribute to the rejection of natural childbirth. Also in his book Michelle Auden suggested that women also will not be able to breastfeed their baby. As explained by Dr. Oden, half a century ago, labor and labor for women took much less time than now, except for this time, women are prescribed various drugs for the normal course of pregnancy, and women in labor more often need the help of a surgeon.
To confirm his words, Auden cited the results of one of the studies, according to which the first stage of labor in modern women is, on average, two and a half hours longer than forty years ago (in the study, specialists analyzed and compared the data on the parturient women of 2002-2008 and 1959- 1966).
Michel Auden emphasizes that the emerging trend can only indicate one thing: women are gradually losing their natural ability to bear children. According to the French specialist, the number of women who can give birth to a child on their own is becoming less. The obstetrician has a negative opinion about such generic deliveries so far performed with the help of Caesarean section. As the statistics show, in one year (from 2013 to 2014) only in the UK 1/4 of the parturient women were given a cesarean section, with most of the surgical interventions performed without medical indications. Also, a gynecologist from France urges to abandon the use of synthetic oxytocin to stimulate labor, in his opinion, this practice deprives the woman of the ability to reproduce this hormone on her own. Oxytocin is considered to be a hormone of "pregnancy" (in translation from Greek means "fast birth"). A neuroscientist from Britain has proved that this hormone causes muscle contraction (in particular, the uterus in a pregnant woman), also without oxytocin, the birth of a new life in the body of a woman is not complete (thanks to this hormone, spermatozoa easily cross the path to the egg).
A high level of this hormone in the body signals that the baby is about to be born. If the birth is unnatural, then the mother gives birth to synthetic oxytocin. However, a number of specialists emphasize that oxytocin produced by the body, in contrast to the synthetic one, acts not only on the uterus, strengthening its activity during childbirth, but also on the receptors of the brain, affecting the behavior of women (soothing and slightly anesthetizing the process of birth).
