Many women have heard about the Indonesian birth method, but they do not know how the child is born, according to these recommendations. The main feature that distinguishes lotus genera from all others is the preservation of the placental site and umbilical connection after the end of the delivery process. It is believed that the placenta must itself die and pass all vital energy and positive spirit into the child's body.

The essence of lotus genera

To explain the main purpose of choosing this method of child birth, it turned out well in Robin Lim( a Balinese resident, midwife and creator of the "Healthy World" center).She believes that the placenta, mother and child are the three most important links in an inseparable chain, which in no case can be violated. This is one of the ways to protect the process of natural birth. By means of an additional volume of blood obtained from the placenta, the child is able to receive additional oxygen, iron compounds and stem cells. This increases his future intellectual abilities and provides good immunity, activates the protective functions of the body.

What happens to the umbilical cord with lotus birth

When a woman gives birth to a child in the usual way, the umbilical cord is pinched, bandaged and cut immediately after the child issues her first voice cry. In case of lotus delivery, the placenta is attached to the baby by the umbilical cord until the end of its independent rejection.

The placenta is a complete and necessary organ of

The fundamental moment of the Indonesian theory is the adoption of the placenta as a full and vital organ for the further happy life of the child. According to the technique of Balinese specialists, the cutting of the umbilical cord can be compared directly with depriving a small person of one of the parts of the body that is necessary for him.

Scientific Justification

Any theory has a scientific justification. The method of delivery "lotus genera" is no exception. So, many mothers notice that when the child has passed through the birth canal and has been born, it has a blue shade of skin. This phenomenon is quite understandable: during the overcoming of a complex path the body of the baby on all sides is squeezed by mucous tissues. If you deprive the newborn of a connection with the placenta, then the small body will have to exert a lot of energy to make up for the volume of blood.

Circulation between the newborn's blood system and the placenta

During growth in the uterus throughout the entire pregnancy process, the baby is fed by obtaining nutrients through the umbilical cord. There is a continuous process of blood circulation between the child's body and the placenta. If immediately after birth the baby is deprived of its umbilical connection, approximately 50 percent of the blood from the vascular system of the placenta does not enter the bloodstream of the baby.

What is done with the placenta after the birth of

After the placenta emerges from the body of the parturient woman through intensive reductions, it is thoroughly washed and sprinkled with plenty of salt. After this, the placenta is wrapped in a cotton diaper and placed in a special basket. Most often the container is a container made of natural and environmentally friendly materials.

Proper storage of the placenta

Since the umbilical attachment of the child and the placenta must be independently disrupted without outside interference, care should be taken to ensure correct storage of the placenta in order to avoid premature spoilage:

• requires daily rinsing. This process can be fully combined with the time of bathing a newborn.
• requires daily updating of the salt layer.
• adding to the salt of essential oils, herbs, which will not be too aromatized and will not bring discomfort to the child.

When the umbilical cord dies

After about 3-5 days mucification of the placental tissue occurs. At this time, the umbilical cord begins to dry out on its own. The natural process of dying of the placenta and separation from the child's body takes an average of 9-12 days. For the natural completion of the process, you can not touch the joint site and do not need to help the umbilical cord to fall off.

Is there a danger to the child

First of all, you need to consider all the pros and cons of lotus delivery to make the right choice.

• providing a smooth transition of the baby from one environment to another.
• saturation of the child's body with the necessary trace elements and stem cells.

How do people in Russia refer to a process called "lotus genera"?Reviews of doctors are mixed. For example, the doctors of the capital note that during such a practice of delivery there is a high risk of infection and dropping of blood back from the baby to the placenta.
