Heike Riefler, a midwife and mother of two, runs two websites: meinSchneckenhaus.de and binichschwanger.info. binichschwanger.info provides information and videos on pregnancy determination. Heike advocates for home births as the safest option and emphasizes the importance of hormones like oxytocin and adrenaline in childbirth. She highlights the potential interference of epidurals with the natural birthing process and bonding, as well as the negative effects of cesarean sections. It is crucial to be informed about birthing options, have support during childbirth, and make choices based on individual preferences. The WHO recommends educating the public about different birthing methods and giving women the choice. Successful breastfeeding is often achieved through immediate bonding and skin-to-skin contact after birth. The use of CTG machines in childbirth is controversial and may not always provide accurate information. A balanced approach involving midwives, obstetricians, and medical professionals is necessary. Co-sleeping with infants can promote better sleep and a sense of security. Breastfeeding is a natural and beautiful way to nourish and bond with a child, and women should feel empowered to breastfeed in public, using discretion if desired.
