Procedure of normal spontaneous delivery?
Normal spontaneous delivery, also known as vaginal delivery, is a process where the baby is born through the birth canal without the need for medical intervention. It typically involves three stages: labor, pushing, and delivery of the placenta. During labor, the cervix dilates to allow the baby to pass through. The pushing stage involves the mother pushing the baby out with contractions. Following the birth, the placenta is delivered.

How long is the pregnancy hormone in your system after having a miscarriage?
the hormone can stay in your system for up to 8 weeks. this can make a PT show up positive.
Speaking from my own experiences. I had two miscarriages. Your hormones should return to normal within a week or 2. My hormones returned to normal within a week.
Occasionally the baby dies a while before the miscarriage and the hormones will have almost disappeared by the time you actually miscarry. It all depends on the reason for the miscarriage and most of the time no-one knows the reason.
Is it normal to be peeing a lot during birth?
Yes, you can. If you try to hold your bladder...you will probably end up with a UTI (urinary tract infection) or a bladder infection. This is caused by not flushing out your bladder enough.

Why are babies' feces black just after birth?
Meconium is a baby's first bowel movement after birth. It is black and thick because it is a build up of material (amniotic fluid, water, etc.) that was taken in during pregnancy. The baby's bowels will soon have a yellow runny appearance after the baby drinks breast milk or formula.
Some babies can pass meconium before they are born, which could be inhaled and cause health problems.
What is the pathophysiology of normal spontaneous vaginal delivery?
A spontaneous vaginal delivery (SVD) is a medical term used to describe when a pregnant woman goes into labor without the use of drugs or techniques to induce labor, and delivers her baby in the normal manner, without a cesarean section. In other words, it is the natural birth of a child, simply without the intervention of modern techniques devised by humans.
The general motive behind choosing to proceed with a SVD rather than a modern delivery is of concern over the possibility of artificial methods having an unnatural and unintended harmful effect on the infant. It is widely accepted that synthetic medical drugs have been observed to produce adverse health effects and as such the FDA attempts to enforce disclosure of these effects to consumers, when the effects are deemed statistically significant. In addition to these known risks, medication carries with it the risk of causing harm in ways not currently known or understood. Although most professionals in the medical industry would contend that such risks are often negligible, being that drug use is so common, there are however many holistic practitioners, other professionals, and members of the public which disagree with this contention and are not willing to take the risk. Afterall, an infant child is a fragile creature, intimately connected to the health of its mother.
As for pain management, one may consider the most natural approach to be a healthy diet, high in antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, essential fatty acids (omega-3), etc. The psychological factor can also be effected through more-natural means, through something as simple as learning to stay calm, or through procedures such as hypnosis. Some might consider taking certain plants ("herbs") not normally considered food, with the intention of having them function as natural pain killers. This approach however might not be considered acceptable by those striving for as natural a process as possible, as it is possible for herbs to contain biochemicals which function very similarly to synthetic chemical drugs.

How do you get your breast milk to dry up if you no longer wish to breastfeed?
The easiest, least stressful way to stop lactating is by reducing the number of breast feeds you do each day - slowly. If they baby currently takes all their feedings at the breast - substitute one feeding for a bottle during the day. Wait a couple days as your production slows down, then drop a second feeding, repeat until baby is taking all their feeds by bottle (or cup if over 1 year old).
Doing this over the course of one to two weeks will make an easy transition for mom and baby.
If slowly stopping isn't an option and you have been nursing full time - you are probably going to face some discomfort for a few days. Use warm showers, warm or cool compresses as needed and a snug bra to help ease engorgement.
If your breasts become very swollen, stand in the shower with warm water pouring down and express some of the milk out by hand.
Does a home pregnancy test come up positive after 2 weeks?
Some pregnancy tests say that they can let you know as soon as a couple days before your period is due but most say to take them a few days after a missed period. Conception usually occurs 14 days from the first day of your last period and a woman's cycle on average is 28 days so two weeks after conception would be the day that you would begin your period if you are a perfectly average woman which many are not. I would wait a couple days since many pregnancies can begin and end and you don't even know because it occurs before your cycle was going to begin. so for example you could get a false positive by taking a home test to early. I would wait 5 to 7 days after a missed period and then still if you get a negative and no period see your doctor for a blood test those a much more accurate.
