My first child, born in a maternity unit in 1969, survived anyway, despite the unnecessary medical interventions. The other 6, born over the following 20 years, all benefitted from being born as (I believe) nature intended.

Beautiful! We watched her for the first four days playing with the cord through her fingers and toes... running her tiny feet up and down the drying cord. and on the fourth day at came apart, and it felt like the next phase...we were all ready to say good bye to the placenta!
