My mother was in labor with me for \u201cOh, about 10 hours. No, 12. 11, maybe?\u201d with no epidural before I squealed myself into existence at 1:41 in the afternoon, weighing 6 pounds, 12 ounces and stretching 21.5 inches long. I had thick, black hair pulled into a ponytail by week one, and I was everything my parents had ever hoped and dreamed of.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s it. Tales of my early days typically involve me throwing Saltine crackers into Presbyterian church aisles, praising a 71-year-old toothless man for his Tooth Fairy income, and getting sneezed on by a buckskin Quarter Horse. Rarely, if ever, did we talk about my birth.It wasn\u2019t until I sat with Pamela Hunt in her home on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefarm.org\/\">The Farm<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 North America\u2019s oldest still active intentional community in middle Tennessee \u2014 and discussed the art of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefarmmidwives.org\/\">spiritual midwifery<\/a> did I begin reflecting on the details I never knew nor bothered to ask about. How badly did I hurt my mom? Was she scared? Did she squeeze my dad\u2019s hand so tightly that his fingers cracked like in the movies? Did she think I was beautiful and perfect? Or squirmy and purple?Pamela tugged at the tie-dye scarf draped over her shoulders. \u201cTo us, birth is a sacrament between the parents who are opening up their souls and bodies to make a new baby.\u201d\u201cNo bright lights and doctors in surgical masks?\u201d I sipped my ginger green tea out of a yellow mug with a red heart and \u2018SAN FRANCISCO\u2019 painted across the front.\u201cOh, no,\u201d she shook her head. \u201cThat\u2019s the off button. Women want to be in soft lights in a cozy, comfortable place. They don\u2019t want to be told what to do \u2013 they want to be loved and respected.\u201dIn the late 1960s, Pamela was a San Francisco State University art major. She began attending <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motherearthnews.com\/nature-and-environment\/stephen-gaskin-zmaz77mjzbon.aspx\">Stephen Gaskin\u2019s<\/a> seminar \u2018Magic, Einstein, and God,\u2019 one of the many classes part of the University\u2019s experimental college. \u201cIt was a group of classes you didn\u2019t get credit for, but you definitely learned from. We studied things like telepathy and the importance of where you put your energy as well as simply being kind to one another. We felt like kindness could change the world, and at that time, things needed to be changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The class had grown from about 10 students to roughly 1,400 by the time Gaskin decided to buy a bus and take his family elsewhere to put his teachings into practice. \u201cWe wanted in, so about 250 of us said, \u2018Well\u2026we wanna go!\u2019\u201dIn 1970, 50 school buses were stripped. They decorated them with rugs, stoves, and curtains they had found in the Mission District and painted the exterior neat and clean. \u201cThey were very sweet inside,\u201d Pamela said, smiling. The sun broke through the windows hung by stained glass wind chimes and reflected on her silver hair parted down the middle and pulled back.For the next year, they caravaned from California to Tennessee for cheap land and better winters than Michigan. \u201cA couple of us had already had natural childbirths, so we thought \u2018Okay, we\u2019ll have our babies on the bus!\u2019 And so we did.\u201d During that time, nine babies were delivered with the help of Pamela and Stephen\u2019s wife, Ina May Gaskin.Pamela gave birth to her first child on a bus in Rocks Springs, Wyoming after 48 hours of labor in -32 degree temperatures, kept warm by a wood burner stove. \u201cBut I was very happy and never once thought about going to the hospital.\u201dWhile in Rhode Island, a doctor who had gotten word of the caravanning hippies visited their buses. He gave lessons in emergency childbirth and donated instruments, medications, and an obstetrician\u2019s medical book. \u201cIt helped us get to Tennessee,\u201d she said, resting back in her chair. \u201cWe had a lot of babies to deliver.\u201dOnce settled in Summertown\u2019s rural fields, The Farm began building its community and midwifery practice. \u201cWe delivered at least 100 babies the first year. Then we started noticing that we were having good statistics and easy deliveries.\u201dIn the United States, the percentage of all deliveries by cesarean is roughly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/fastats\/delivery.htm\">32.7%<\/a>\u00a0with an infant mortality rate of .<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/data\/nvsr\/nvsr63\/nvsr63_05.pdf\">61%<\/a>, maternal mortality rate of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/data.worldbank.org\/indicator\/SH.STA.MMRT\">.03%<\/a>, and a preeclampsia percentage of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.preeclampsia.org\/health-information\/faqs\">5-8%<\/a>. (Preeclampsia is a devastating disease that can lead to life and brain threatening seizures.)Pamela pulled her shoulders back, sitting up straight. \u201cBy the end of the first year, we had seven midwives and were delivering about eight to ten babies per month, but we had zero cases of Preeclampsia.\u201dThe Farm today sees rates of preeclampsia at 0.4%, cesareans at 1.7%, and zero cases of maternal mortality. Neonatal mortality? Only two out of 1,083 labors between the years of 1970 and 1979. Pamela has also spent 25 years working in the nearby Amish community where she saw similar results from their midwifery. \u201cThe thing about [the Amish] is that they\u2019re not afraid. Birth is normal to them. They take care of their women, and they take care of the environment.\u201dBut why such low percentages in comparison with the national level?\u201cWe didn\u2019t have any cigarette smokers, no one strung out on heavy drugs, and no drinkers \u2013 we had healthy women. We were eating tortillas, soy beans, pinto beans, black beans, green beans, lentils, whole wheat, tofu, dark leafy greens from our gardens, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli. Sugar was rationed; we got a quarter cup per person per week, and we didn\u2019t have any packaged food. None.\u201d She shifted her body weight to the left, rubbing the ends of her tie-dye scarf. \u201cOf course, the women still had to work hard, but they were indescribably happy. So Ina May and I realized that if the vibes were good and the woman was being loved and cared for, she felt relaxed and had an easy baby. That\u2019s what makes it spiritual.\u201dI sipped my tea which had begun losing its steam and asked Pamela how she got so many people to follow her.\u201cOh, we didn\u2019t try to get people to follow. Women wanted to.\u201dShortly after arriving in Tennessee, the midwives began piecing together a book of personal testimonies, which would be published as <a href=\"http:\/\/inamay.com\/books\/\">Spiritual Midwifery<\/a>. After its publication in 1977, women from all over the globe began contacting them. \u201cWe actually had to get a couple of people to answer mail for us because women everywhere wanted this,\u201d she laughed.Today, they deliver about 10 to 12 babies a month and have seven midwives with five practicing. Two are registered nurses while all are Certified Professional Midwives through the <a href=\"http:\/\/narm.org\/\">North American Registry of Midwives<\/a>, which involves documenting initial and continuing education, passing a written test, and maintaining certifications in neonatal resuscitation and CPR. \u201cWe work very closely with Vanderbilt,\u201d she explained. \u201cWe want to stay up to date on any new medical developments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But despite its ancient roots, the United States has a history of criminalizing midwifery after the medical market overtook it in the 1930s. While Nurse-Midwives are legal in all 50 states, <a href=\"http:\/\/mana.org\/about-midwives\/legal-status-of-us-midwives\">Certified Professional Midwives<\/a> are only legal in 28 and Certified Midwives practice legally in a miniscule three. \u201cYou lose some babies \u2013 it\u2019s low, but it\u2019s the reality of delivering babies. If a midwife gets blamed for that, they take a nice, gentle woman who has done nothing more than deliver a baby, and they put her in jail. That\u2019s why we need the law, and it\u2019s why all midwives need certification so there\u2019s a standard of care.\u201d On The Farm, these midwives monitor the women throughout their whole pregnancies, labor, birth, and postpartum period, recommending appropriate actions in the event of complications. This, of course, involves consulting healthcare providers if needed.Unfortunately, midwives have yet to reach the quality of reputation that is sought after in the medical community. \u201cA lot of OBGYN\u2019s think we\u2019re a bunch of country bumpkin witches because some midwives have given us that reputation, which is too bad. Our goal is to make birthing safe for all women. To achieve this goal, we need to have these three entities working closely together: the midwives, the doctors, and the nurse midwives.\u201dShe picked up two small bottles in the middle of the dining room table. \u201cI was trained in medical medicine by doctors, but I still keep these herbs and tinctures for certain things because I know they work. We combine medical medicine with natural medicine.\u201dThe Farm has several birthing cabins cozy with queen sized beds, small kitchens, and back decks. \u201cWe remember that this is for the parents, so we\u2019ll monitor the baby and the mom but then we\u2019ll leave her with her partner in early labor. Later, during her active labor, we monitor the mother and baby every few minutes. Any other time, if she wants us there, we\u2019ll be there, but it\u2019s up to her. It\u2019s whatever she wants.\u201dPamela flipped opened her Mac to show photographs of women giving birth at The Farm \u2013 down from Nashville, up from Alabama and Georgia, way down from New York, and far over from Indonesia and West Africa. Sweat forms in tiny beads along their foreheads matted with messy hair. They smile as if their baby is already in their arms; they don\u2019t look like they\u2019re in pain; they\u2019re not scared; they\u2019re not squeezing their husband\u2019s hands so tightly that their fingers crack like in the movies. They appear in utter peace \u2013 as if they\u2019ve achieved the ultimate nirvana, as if the birth is as pleasurable as the conception.\u201cWhen I\u2019d help a woman with her first birth, she would look, in a way, like a young girl. But during that labor, I\u2019d watch her bloom into a woman. It\u2019s one of the most magical things you could ever imagine, and it\u2019s an honor to be a witness to that with so many people.\u201dI drained the last of my ginger green tea, which had long since chilled. The ceramic mug thudded against the wood as I set it back on the table. Pamela tugged again at her tie-dye scarf.\u201cWhy does it mean so much to you to help these women?\u201d\u201cThis is how I had my own babies,\u201d she said. \u201cI knew that if I could do it, pretty much anyone who was healthy and well could do it. So I wanted to help women. Of course, I never thought I\u2019d be in the type of job where I was working mostly with delivering babies, but in the process of helping women, I fell in love with women. Women are brave. We\u2019re absolutely beautiful creatures.\u201d <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-ender lazy wow-ready wow-time\" src=\"https:\/\/d36tnp772eyphs.cloudfront.net\/assets\/images\/matador-logo-small-2017-bw@3.png\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" data-original=\"https:\/\/d36tnp772eyphs.cloudfront.net\/assets\/images\/matador-logo-small-2017-bw@3.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I WAS A\u00a0VBAC BABY.
