Birth Trauma by Abraham Towbin, MD
Childbirth is such a beautiful and exceptional moment for the child and its mother, and so Natural. Nowadays it has become a scientific moment that can affect our whole life. Many scientific studies show the damage that can cause these births, I leave you the conclusions of ABraham Towbin, a doctor specialized in newborns.
- Autopsy of babies who died of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).revealed blood in the spinal cordl, with which the author hypothesizes that it was due to obstetric trauma (birth trauma).
«Spinal cord and brain stem lesions often occur during the birth process but often go undetected at diagnosis.«.A.Towbin
- Respiratory depression in the neonate is a cardinal sign of major injury. In infants, there may be long-lasting neurologic defects reflecting the major injury.
Towbin further states: «mechanical stress imposed by obstetric manipulation - even the application of orthodox standard procedures may be intolerable to the fetus«.
- Respiratory distress in the newborn is a classic indication in this type of injury. He goes on to say, «Newborn survival is governed primarily by the integrity and function of vital centers in the brain stem.«.
- But paradoxically, the significance of birth injury to the brainstem and spinal cord are issues that have generally been escaped lasting attention.
