Why Are So Many Women Having Birth Complications?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Unsurprisingly, I've got childbirth on my mind.
I have five weeks and a few days left before I'm due to give birth.
I'll probably go over.
I always do.
But I've been listening to a lot of pregnancy podcasts and listening to a lot of birth stories.
It kind of naturally happens.
You pursue it on the internet when you get near to birth yourself.
And I'm going to ask you guys to indulge me for a second because something occurred to
And I wouldn't say it's necessarily a conspiracy theory.
It's absolutely not a conspiracy theory.
It's something that we should talk about.
But it is something that began as an anecdotal experience.
And then I did a little bit of research and realized that something really is going on and I can't figure out what's
at root of this.
So, to be open about it, I was actually listening to an old podcast of Allie Stuckey's.
You know, I think she does amazing work and she speaks to women about a lot of issues and spoke about her first two
pregnancies and the complications that she had.
And it dawned on me as I was listening to the story of her birth complications just how often I was hearing stories
surrounding childbirth and complications.
I mean, literally, I went through my head and I thought of 12 people that I know and every single one of them faced a
complication either in pregnancy, in birth, or shortly thereafter.
Very strange that women are not just able to give birth and move on anymore, it seems.
And so I'm just giving you a couple of examples here.
I had one friend of mine who, despite giving birth to her child, was unable to give birth to the placenta, and then it went immediately into a life-or-death situation in which she quite literally almost died, came very close to death because she was unable to give birth to the placenta.
I had another woman who had her water break.
I know that she wouldn't have an issue with me sharing that, which is why I'm sharing it.
I had a person who worked for me who gave birth and was in a life-or-death situation when she suffered from shoulder dystocia.
It's when the baby's not fully turned when they're coming out, and basically the baby's shoulder gets stuck behind a woman's pelvic bone, and it's, again, life or death.
Both the mother and the baby can die.
I had another young woman We're good to go.
I was very lucky.
I had two children, very quick births.
But that's not normal that every single person that I know is facing some sort of life or death complications.
And so I said this to my husband, and the first thing he kind of said was, well, it's probably some element of Darwinism being interfered with because we now have so many medical advances where...
Medicine can get involved and you could save these women and save these children who, you know, in medieval days would have just died.
And then only women that were able to give birth would then be, you know, passing on their genes.
And I said, no, because I'm not talking about the differences between when people would die giving birth all the time, like in the medieval times.
I'm talking about just the difference compared to our parents' generations, right?
Right? Our parents and our grandparents, if you speak to anybody, they'll tell you their grandparents are one of ten.
My grandfather was one of twelve.
My mother is one of nine.
This is before they were giving women all of these options in childbirth.
They were basically, my grandfather, his mother, was giving birth in a run-worm shack.
My grandfather was born on a sharecropping farm, right?
His mother gave birth to twelve children successfully.
Okay? And so how did we go from that generation, who was born in the 1940s, to suddenly having women that are struggling to conceive one child, many people having to turn to IVF, and now women that even when they are conceiving are unable to give birth without severe complications.
And I'm not talking about doctors that are pushing for a C-section.
I'm talking about literally life or death C-sections that thankfully are turning out okay.
Okay? It's just abnormal.
It's something that I wanted to raise because I wanted to hear feedback on it.
Again, I am sort of talking at you, ranting at you because it's been on my mind and I would love to read your comments.
But there's something else going on.
In fact, this article, which was released by the Commonwealth Fund in 2020, says that
women in the United States are more likely to die in pregnancy, in childbirth, and postpartum
than women in other high-income nations.
That's a stunning fact.
Since we are so pro-Big Pharma here and medicine is supposed to be helping us and not hurting
us, why is it that when we're weighed against other OECD countries, people that have similar
incomes and living statuses as us?
Are we facing more birth complications?
Which also brings me to think about countries in the third world.
Why are they still able to give birth to so many children?
So many children without complications, without medical interference.
And yet you have America, which...
It's supposed to be the offering of the world, and we're unable to do it here.
Again, this is food for thought.
I would love to hear what you guys have to say.
Just in thinking about it, of what could be happening, I think a lot of it could be contributed to our diet here in America.
We have such a high incidence of allergies that you don't see anywhere else in the world, and you wonder if it's the stuff that we're putting in our water, if it's the stuff that we're putting in our grains.
You're An instance of gluten allergies and peanut allergies and soy nut allergies.
Is it in our food?
Is it in our water?
Is it because of the fact that we give out so many medications in America?
That we are essentially, as I've talked about openly on this show, we've become largely a drug cartel in America.
There's no question about that.
It's not even something to be debated.
America is a successful drug cartel, whatever it is that the Colombian drug cartels
and the Mexican drug cartels wanted to accomplish, America did.
You know, you have the drug dealers, the big pharma companies that are arm in arm,
in hand and in partnership with the government.
That's what they wanted.
That is what El Chapo wanted to accomplish.
In America, we've done that.
And what is it causing?
You know, you've got kids that are taking Adderall to focus on mathematics in school,
people that are literally on medications their entire life.
You're gonna tell me that's not going to impact their reproductive health in the future?
Of course it is.
We know the testosterone rates are dropping dramatically as we discussed last week on this show.
There is something very big going on and we should pay attention to it.
It's something very big that's happening with men and something very big that's happening with women
and a disruption of our reproductive health that warrants our attention.
Again, probably more appropriately for me, a deep dive onto this on A Shot in the Dark,
which is my second series that I do with The Daily Wire.
It's available exclusively on Daily Wire Plus, but it was on my mind today, and I want to read your comments, and I want you guys to be able to comment on it so that I can bring it to Daily Wire Plus and onto A Shot in the Dark.
If you like this video, you are definitely going to like the full episode even better.
