The Importance of Obstetrics for the Individual and Future Society

For many decades we have lived with a science of obstetrics, that is more focused on technology, the ideas and facility for the doctors, and, eventually, the comfort of the mother, but never really thinking of the baby, nor about what will happen to our society, if we go on like this. This is a call for consciousness in mothers, doctors, and midwives, together with families and society, so that we can make a change for Love ,Peace, and Unity by going for more humanistic births, without much intervention, while providing support for the mothers and babies. The future society will have to be created by our babies of today, the future citizens. Their personalities are strongly influenced by everything around pregnancy and birth. Our great challenge today is to create for everybody obstetrics that can accomplish what we need for the future society of which we dream.
