Natural birth without clinic/hospital/midwife is very beautiful when everything goes right. But Mother Nature can be cruel if anything goes wrong and you don't have the means to get it fixed right away. What if the baby needs oxygen, what if the baby swallowed meconium , what if the baby is stuck with the cord around the neck and is unable to come down, what if...? These are all things that can be quickly solved in a proper environment, that can be a life saving action in a mather of seconds.
So, just be cautious and do the natural birth if you wish to, with no pain killers if you wish to, but please, do it in a controlled environment with quick access to medical intervention, just in case...

What my research taught me is that if the full 9 months are utilized in the correct way, the chances of these complications you speak of are almost impossible. Therefore, be prepared from the beginning and you have nothing to fear. Though to be super safe it's always good to have a near-by hospital you know you can quickly drive to.
I was wondering about that also. I have even changed my view on death, not to say m looking forward to it, but it is not an ending and when you realize this dying is just a part of life. We like to imagine we can control things and who knows maybe we should not be tinkering at all, it would seem stupid to most of us, if someone were to die because they were not able to get to a hospital with a hospital a block away and then they died, but there are people who accept that as Gods plan and I am now leaning more towards that line of thinking.
Again... so much to say about this!
Here in Bali they don't look left & right before turning onto a junction on their motorbikes. Coz they believe it's their day to go, so be it. Trouble is... that can kinda affect others!
We think of death as something bad because of the sense of loss. Though once we really start to wake up, we begin to see that nothing has been lost at all. My dad died 15 years ago but he is more with me now than ever before ;)
I have been sungazing for over 3 years and haven't worn shoes either. And I'm pretty sure this has changed something in me. Better connection to ALL THAT IS.
Alot of what you have mentioned above happens because of intervention in hospital. It is really difficult to birth naturally in a hospital, for one they want you to give birth by a certain time as they will need to make way for more women to come in. If your birth doesn't start by that time they start with their interventions and then it is no longer a natural birth. There is so much pressure in a hospital and it is not somewhere that acknowledges birth as being such a sacred thing. Instead they see birth as a medical condition when it is not. When animals birth, they find somewhere that is quiet, peaceful and secure, unfortunately that is not a hospital. Birth is something every women's body knows how to do, we do not need a medical professional to tell us.
