V 22 [j ' i 1 : 'I 'J 1 I Wi », I : The Independent, Canadian Statesman Weekender, Bowmanville, Saturday, December 4,1993 Experts Offer Tips for Healthy Mothers and Babies By Pat Irwin Lycett On Monday, November 22, a small group of enlightened women came together to learn more of a growing trend towards life-affirming, mother-healing, humane-birthing practices. The evening at the Bowmanville Bowmanville Fire Station was part of a Family Health Series organized by Dr. Kathlynn Hoch, entitled Healthy Mothers....Healthy Babies. In this decade as our health care delivery system becomes even more difficult to fund, most of us understand understand major changes are a must. To this end, we need to add to our experience experience of hospitals and allopathic care the burgeoning cornucopia of holistic professional well-being offered up by people who are really interested in health teaching, primary preventive care, and reducing the drug industries' industries' sometime grip on our lives. Peggy Cannon (579-9297) speaking speaking from her midwife's heart on the services she offers, stated that continuity continuity of care, informed choice, and choice of birthplace are three of the ofh»'. Æ mmnM 9 PdRr/c/pacnoni basic tenets practised by her profession. profession. She is part of a team of two, and a graduate of the Michener Institute. Institute. She and her midwife partner have been accepted with open arms by Markham-Stouffville Hospital as the profession of midwifery gains official official recognition and coverage by OHIP. There is a three-year program of midwifery training operating at McMaster University in Hamilton. From Jane McAllister (723-7373) a Certified Childbirth Educator, we learned something of the philosophy of Lamaze (pioneered by the renowned renowned French obstetrician) in that giving birth is a normal physiological event and should be treated as such by parents, doctors and hospitals. The primary goal of the Lamaze technique technique is "a prepared and positive birth experience." There are definite medical advantages for baby and mother. Studies have shown that when couples have participated in Lamaze preparation the mother may use less medication and report a more favourable experience in labour and delivery. Learning proven conditioning conditioning exercises (the pelvic , tilt and the beneficial anti-leak Kegel), relaxation and breathing techniques allow the Lamaze-prepared mother to cooperate cooperate with that natural process, and effectively respond to the guidance of her partner and professional attendants. attendants. In Bowmanville, Lynn Eves, a . certified labour support person, can be reached at 623-8908. Bonnie Hoch-Mclnall, a certified reflexologist, outlined some ot the benefits of this modem scientific method of activating the healing powers of the body. Used to reduce anxiety, it is a marvelous relaxer during during labour, helping to create balance, regulate metabolism and send healing to the necessary areas. In treating baby's ills, mention was made of calendula calendula (a homeopathic remedy) for diaper rash, eucalyptus oil to clear phlegm, and the calming effect of the essential oil, lavender. Bonnie can be reached at 623-8388 for further information. information. Dr. Kathlynn Hoch outlined a number of issues important in her work, in the belief that health and healing result from an integrated approach approach to balancing all body systems. The importance of eating nutrient- rich foods cannot be overemphasized in general life, in pregnancy, and in the pre-pregnancy period too. Green, leafy vegetables provide calcium, hold calcium where it can be used, and tend to decrease labour pain if taken prior to delivery. Adequate calcium also decreases leg cramps and hypertension during pregnancy. Vitamin C found in fresh raw vegetable vegetable increases circulation, leading to less discomfort. Supplements are a. very good idea, partly because we don't always eat as well as we think we should, and also because our food often lacks the nutrients which we used to expect them to contain. Organic Organic sources of vitamins and minerals minerals are more easily digested and absorbed, absorbed, tend to have fewer fillers, and do not lead to the additional problems problems often caused by non-organic brands. Natural sources of vitamins are almost like eating compressed food. Coffee inhibits the absorption of vitamins, and vitamin A assists in the assimilation of other vitamins. It's really necessary as we learn more about managing our own health care to read the label, read up, and check it out. Exercise, at least some form of mild stretching, is important as it will ultimately make, labour easier by strengthening the back muscles, however however exercise should be tailored to your own pre-pregnaricy lifestyle. Sciatic can often be released by a simple chiropractic adjustment after a tortuous journey down the birth canal making life easier for both mother and child, and also eliminating further further health problems down the road. Jane Fonda's Workout And Total Birth Program by Femmy DeLyser is an excellent read for further information information on this subject and can be purchased purchased through the Book Studio in Bowmanville or Crystal Pages in Orono. Dr. Hoch also spoke on tests and drugs used during pregnancy, and the changing climate of opinion surrounding surrounding these issues.
