Consider this. In the US, 3,680,000 women give birth each year, in the UK  700,000 do, Melbourne, Australia 58,000 and the same in New Zealand. Where Common Knowledge Trust is located 1,000 women give birth. New Zealand is unique. In 1995 midwives became autonomous, lead maternity carers. Direct entry 3 year educational programs were set up, they are paid by Government to provide antenatal, delivery and post-natal care within the concept of continuity of care. Women can choose to give birth at home or in hospital with the same midwife. There is no shared care. Over 85% of all pregnant New Zealand women have a continuity of care midwife. Women choosing to birth in hospital, even when referred to a specialist, will have team midwifery care. Ideal isn’t it? Since 1995, the caesarean rate has doubled to over 27% nationally. What’s wrong with the picture?

In modern societies where blame, shame and guilt are raging emotions often associated with birth, changing the system doesn’t seem to have worked. It’s so easy to ask ’so who is to blame?’ Gotcha.

Breast feeding is said to be the best nutritional choice for feeding your new newborn baby, but it also has proven health benefits for moms as well. You can lose that pregnancy weight quicker by breastfeeding because it burns extra calories and lowers your body fat content – without exercise! Breastfeeding also releases a hormone called oxytocin which will cause your uterus to contract and return to its normal size more rapidly. It reduces the amount of postpartum bleeding and also improves the storage of minerals in your bones which lowers the risk of osteoporosis. Breast feeding can also help in preventing ovarian and breast cancers. And of course, it’s a wonderful way to bond with your new baby.

Both Kourtney Kardashian, 30 years old, and Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett, 24 years old, underwent breast augmentation before their pregnancy. In a US Weekly interview, both explained that they have the desire to breast feed following pregnancy. Their desire mimics the desire that many other women who are interested in breast augmentation have before they become pregnant. In the past, breast augmentation was recommended to take place following all desired pregnancies because of the risk of the inability to breast feed following breast augmentation surgery. In more recent years, women interested in breast augmentation surgery before pregnancy have undergone the procedure with reassurance that the risk is reduced when compared to previous years.

There are factors that may inhibit the ability to breast feed following the placement of breast implants. Plastic surgeons fully explain these factors during an initial consultation for the breast augmentation procedure. One factor is the technique used in the breast augmentation procedure. Surgical techniques that are not likely to damage the milk ducts may provide the opportunity for women to have breast augmentation prior to pregnancy. Plastic surgeons may utilize advanced techniques and equipment in surgery when compared to previous years. For example, there are smaller tools and visual guides that may be used to dissect the breast pocket during breast augmentation. This allows the plastic surgeon to use greater precision for the dissection of the breast pocket during surgery. There is no guarantee that women will be able to breast feed following breast enhancement, but the risk are reduced when having the procedure with an experienced plastic surgeon.
