Lotus Birth
A lotus birth involves umbilical nonseverance, which is the practice of keeping the umbilical cord and placenta intact after a baby is born and letting it naturally separate from the baby rather than cutting the cord immediately or shortly after birth. This natural separation typically happens three to 10 days after baby's arrival, but in some cases could take up to 15 days. Until then, the umbilical cord and placenta remain attached to the baby. Lotus birthing is not a mainstream practice, and numbers on how often it's done are hard to come by. But it does seem to be growing in popularity, some research suggests. |

Re: Lotus Birth
Judging by the title, I was sure this was going to be some kind of a yoga-influenced, New Ageish natural birthing method Turns out I couldn't be more wrong  |

Re: Lotus Birth
Even animals separate the umbilical cord. Our brains/‘intelligence’ is detrimental to the survival of our species

Re: Lotus Birth
My thoughts exactly. I think it would start to rot in less than 24 hours. I couldn’t imagine having my brand new baby attached to a human waste product. |
