We are such an Amazing creation with an
AMAZING Creator. There are so many reasons for this comment. However, today my
reason is Microbiome. You say "what are microbiome"?
Microbiome are microorganisms in a
particular environment (including the body or a part of the body)."we
depend on a vast army of microbes to stay alive: a microbiome that protects us
against germs, breaks down food to release energy, and produces vitamins"
We all
have trillions of microbiomes in our body however the amazing part of this is
that it is our generational genetic make up. You pass this down to your family
line after birth. Women give birth to their babies and the most amazing thing
happens. The microbial transfer starts once the amniotic sac ruptures.
Microbial are organisms set your baby gut and immune system.
Do not mistaken this for GBS. What is GBS
you ask? Group B streptococcus (GBS)
is a type of bacterial infection that can be found in a pregnant woman’s vagina
or rectum. This bacteria is normally found in the vagina and/or rectum of
about 25% of all healthy adult women. Women who test positive for GBS
are said to be colonized. A mother can pass GBS to her baby during
delivery. This is a very serious issue. However I am not able to go into more
detail at the time.
Imagine this, you have passed down
generations of bacteria that establishes your child gut and immune system. This
exposure happens like a fine tuned machine. This exchange happens only once.
Your pregnancy is one experience that is beyond any one persons comprehension.
You were able to carry another human being. Wow! You feel this human growing,
moving and interacting with you. I was in awe of this experience.
As a
mother you consider the legacy you strive to build for your child and never in
a million years could you imagine that you are passing down to your child
trillions of your Mother, Grand Mother, Great Grand Mother and so on and so on
microbiome. Your baby original contact happens when the sac ruptures then baby
passes through the canal and out the vagina. This is when baby comes in contact
with vaginal bacteria after your gut bacteria. Now we happen to poop on the
table because we use the same muscles to push that's when we defecate. Pooping
during birth will be discussed in another Blog at a later date. If there is any
poop on or near your child as it exits your baby come in contact with more
microbials and then finally you do skin to skin and initiate the feeding
process. You are not just feeding your little one. These organisms perform important functions that
include digesting unused nutrients, producing vitamins, stimulating normal
immune development, countering harmful bacteria and fostering maturation of the
gut.
Can you
believe this? Now consider this your breast milk is more special than you know?
Your milk provides sugary food for the microbial. We all know bacteria love
sugar. However, this sugar is good and so is this bacteria. This a part of the
maturation of the gut. As you feed the bacteria you create a environment where
the bacteria grow and there for create a good bacteria haven.
The
other amazing thing is that this exchange happens in a particular order so that
each phase prepares the microbial for the next phase. I can barely contain
myself A.M.A.Z.ING...
Now
for the Mom who is told that you have to have a C-section no worries. You can
create a microbial exchange. There is something that some Dr. will do call
Seeding. Seeding is when the Dr. will expose baby to your microbials. The most
wonderful thing for woman who would love to pass their legacy on.
For
those who elect to have a C-section it is definitely your choice but understand
the convenience you create is more than just a quick birth. Many
studies have suggested that the trillions of micro-organisms that are in our
human body influence our present and future health and may account for the
rising serious medical conditions now plaguing Americans, youth and elderly.
Researchers
believe a disruption in one or more of these phases can lead to serious, health
problems. One thing they mentioned was gut maturation is impaired or delayed,
some experts believe undigested proteins could leak into the bloodstream and
trigger an allergy or gluten intolerance, or an impaired immune system could
result in an autoimmune disorder like Type 1 diabetes, juvenile arthritis or
multiple sclerosis.
Can you believe this all from a bacterial change or lack
of exchange.
When I gave
birth to my precious daughter I never consider that my birthing experience was
more than I knew. I passed not just my bacteria but My Mothers, My deceased
Grand Mother and Great Grand Mother bacteria. I miss them so much and to know
that I am carrying them with me and not just in memory and I have passed it on
to my daughter this has given me great joy and comfort.
So,
Beautiful Woman and Mommies I hope you are excited for your part in legacy
building in your family.
I hope this
is helpful and give you useful information. If you are informed you need a
c-section please ask your Provider about seeding. If you are electing a
c-section I hope this has given you useful information to create a stabilized
gut and immune system
Do not miss
understand I am not judging anyone. Your birth is your birth. Be proud of it.
I hope you
serve you soon.
