A Lotus Birth

by Alysse

A lotus birth is a birth practice (and an option!) where the umbilical cord is not severed, it is left intact and attached to the baby. It is often wrapped and placed in a bowl and then the mother and child are left to bond. In 3- 10 days, the umbilical cord dries out and detaches from the baby. A benefit includes your baby receiving all the blood from the placenta. The idea is that you are honouring the connection between the baby and the placenta.

While there have been many studies on delayed cord clamping there have not been any studies on the effectiveness of leaving the cord untouched. Many people believe that leaving the cord intact creates a calmer entrance into the world for the baby. There are some cultures around the world where this is a typical birth practice, such as present-day Bali. Most monkeys and chimpanzees also do not cut or chew the cord, although many other animals do.

There are risks involved with having a lotus birth, such as a bacterial infection, so if you wish to have a lotus birth, please talk to your care provider. When it is practiced it is often during homebirths rather than hospital births, although it has been recently allowed in Australian hospitals.

If you do decide to have a lotus birth there are steps to take to help the placenta take longer to deteriorate. Immediately after the placenta is delivered it is placed in a bowl. After approximately an hour, the placenta would then be rinsed off, dried and then preservatives would put on it. The preservatives used are usually salt mixed with herbs. After the placenta has been preserved, it is wrapped in terrycloth or muslin. There are kits that can be bought that include the preservatives and linen-lined silk bags to carry the placenta in while waiting for it to detach.

If a lotus birth is chosen the placenta cannot be encapsulated or ingested. A lovely idea is to bury the placenta along with a tree, plant or annual flower to commemorate the birth of the baby.

Enlightened Lotus 60” x 60” made with Marble plaster and Silver Leaf. I created this piece because the Lotus Flower has a deep meaning in Buddhism. The Lotus Flower grows in the deep mud, far away from the sun. But, sooner or later, the Lotus reaches the light becoming the most beautiful flower ever. The Lotus flower is regarded in many different cultures, especially in eastern religions, as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration and rebirth. Its characteristics are a perfect analogy for the human condition: even when its roots are in the dirtiest waters, the Lotus produces the most beautiful flower. The Meaning the Lotus Flower in Buddhism According to Buddhism, every person has the potential to become perfect and enlightened, and it is just a matter of time until each human reaches the light. Buddhists believe that it's necessary to be reborn thousands of times, polishing one's being through many incarnations, until one reaches nirvana – the highest state of consciousness that humans can access. #lotus #buddhistlotusflower #lotusflower #lotusart #lotusbirth #lotusartwork #enlightenment #enlight #enlightened #meditationcircle #zenart (at Contemporary Fine Arts Gallery La Jolla) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbGAg_LvrVS/?utm_medium=tumblr

This year I had this amazing opportunity to be part of the Lotus Lantern festival supporters and I need to thank them for accepting me. I had so much fun and I was so happy to be able to share all of this with you! So for my last post I went and visited the street exhibition. Both the temple and the plaza were amazing! I could take so many great pictures to share with you! I hope everyone around the world had the same great experience like me, through my pictures and posts. Thanks for being here for me and with me! _____________________ Anul acesta am avut această ocazie uimitoare de a face parte din susținătorii festivalului Lotus Lantern și trebuie să le mulțumesc că m-au acceptat.

Preparing for pregnancy in the next few weeks. <3 I am a transgender male and I had to stop my hormones in order to prepare my body to conceive. I am the divine masculine in the divine feminine form, the perfect balance of both. It may be confusing to many but I am happy with this. I will update this blog as I go with my journey. I’m happy to announce that not only my fiance will possibly work a full time stable job but there’s our friend who’s going to donate as soon as possible. All I have to do now is figure out when I am ovulating so that magical and divine moment happens. May the universe keep blessing us. Keep your focus on something you love and want because it will manifest right before your eyes. I am truly grateful that slowly everything is falling into place. Even though I have my dark days, I do see the light at the end of the tunnel and that’s what keeps me pushing forward. If you are stuck or want to give up on your hopes and dreams; don’t. Be your own guide, be the manifestation of love because that’s what god truly is; the unconditional and divine energy of love. <3 Bless you all my brothers and sisters.

Why I choose the lotus birth

“The placenta offers most of its encoding to the baby through the energetic transference of its cord as it dies. It’s legacy is its strength of generational attunement that weaves the generations together. When the cord remains intact and is not cut, there is a massive amount of information transferred to each baby that helps baby understand his/her place in the world family. By immediately cutting the cord, we continue in our lack of understanding our differences. The placentas continual flow of intelligence, both before in the form of sound, and after birth, in the form of energy, bathes the baby on the inside. It enters through the umbilical cord at the place of self, the place of knowing ‘who I am’ in the world. This is baby’s security. Lotus Birth respects baby’s own timing to disconnect from his/her placenta and be of this world. Honoring this timing allows the aura to stay strong and whole. When the cord remains intact, the baby holds the vibration given at birth and is not susceptible to this energetic depletion and it’s common baby illnesses. Baby’s adrenal glands are not stressed by the need to repair his/her energy field and his/her immunity continues to be strong. Baby’s vitality can be used instead to gain weight, thrive and discover the world.” ~Sacred Birthing: Birthing A New Humanity

🎶🤰🏽What's on your childbirth playlist? 🎶🤰🏽 You can’t plan how labor and delivery are going to progress, but you can prepare the soundtrack. Studies show that music, by promoting relaxation, can help cut down on pain; in other words, you definitely should have this music streaming in the delivery room. This might be the most soothing/relaxing cesarean delivery we've every seen. What's on your playlist ? 🎶#Frobabies #babyFever #melanin #maternity #expecting #babybump #pregnant #newborn #organic #breastfeed #momsofinstagram #mommyblogger #bestoftheday #photooftheday #cesarean #mommylife #bumppositive #survivor #momlife #csectionrecovery #goddess #lotusbirth #blackpregnancy#fromomchronicles #csection 👨‍⚕️ @fertilugo 👨‍⚕️
