If our way of birthing in this country were the best way, we'd have the best maternal infant mortality rates, right?

Right.

We don't.

Oh, boy.

We're like way down the list.

Really?

Yes.

So in places like Sweden and things, their mode of operating is midwifery care.

So they start their birth with a midwife.

Their hospitals are staffed around the clock with surgeons and anesthesiologists.

Sure.

Right?

So they're always on staff.

So when a midwife needs to bring the woman in for intervention in a hospital, everybody's there, they're on, they're ready, they know what they're doing, and they have the best maternal and infant mortality rates.

So when I started, the whole thing started back when my second baby was born.

I had learned about placenta encapsulation from an acupuncturist and practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

So I learned that in traditional Chinese medicine, you can take the placenta and do a process on it.

You end up with capsules.

It's a supplement.

You take that supplement postpartum for a couple of weeks and it helps level everything out.
