Manifesto for the recovery of the separation Consequences Presentation
A growing movement of women and mothers share our work every day from social, professional and scientific diverse, with the intention of recognizing the role of motherhood in the reproduction of society. We want to present the emerging social, cultural and scientific now urgently raise the need to recover the value of mothers , from the defense and promotion of the rights of women and mothers , which ultimately are also those of men and creatures, a human life more caring, loving and free for everyone s.
real parity between human beings is that we are born mother, as we are conceived, gestated, born and bred in them and for them, it depends on the development or atrophy of empathy and human solidarity primary , which are now more than ever energy deposits in the process of devastation, and without l @ s which the peaceful resolution of the serious local and global conflicts today affect us all humanity, it becomes more and more bleak.
The importance of motherhood is so great as the mass disinformation that exists which is vital and specific processes involved. In our culture, even today, through education we receive in this society of knowledge and information, is hidden from us, misrepresented, or censored trivialize the fact that motherhood is a stage of sexual life women, as there an endearing maternal desire, a drive (I) arising in our bodies. Ignore this desire of the mother and the instincts of the creature induce another to give rise to a symbiosis (II), which is a unit that will remain around the first year after childbirth; the basic physiological functions during this period and synchronously regulating mutual, and therefore, premature and artificial separation mother-child and the lack of melee with the mother during the primal stage (III) of our lives , pathologically affects us in many ways, the short, medium and long term. In short, after the rapid global social changes since the labor market and consumption influence our daily lives, are not directly and equitably rethink the causes and destructive social consequences of such failure or empty maternity endearing.
This manifesto for the recovery of motherhood is a document based not only on the everyday social experience but also on the scientific evidence provided by many women and mothers, and men and fathers from diverse fields of medicine, psychology, sociology and pedagogy, we want to help the joyful and intimate maternity "leave out" in a historical context in which further the development of the equality between women and men (IV) make possible the recovery of basic life processes in humanizing not only the existing traditional societies, but also modern and postmodern societies.
maternal sexuality also exists
Girls do we grow and women believe that all our instincts and sexual desires are directed toward males and toward relationships intercourse. However, women's sexuality is not uniform, nor is it always the same orientation, and motherhood, in fact, is a sexual life cycle. This des-in-training largely caused a disconnect between our mind and our impulses, between our consciousness and our body wisdom. However, many women fall in love us of our creatures and feel a passion and a desire visceral and intimate to them. Sometimes we see changes in the state of our bodies, and we realize that our state is not the same in the period that ovulation, when you are pregnant or giving birth or breastfeeding, or when we live a passionate affair with a man or with another woman. This infatuation and passion for our child, we feel with certainty when we let ourselves go by intuition, and when layers of "education" and "culture" over "what should be" have failed to stifle the momentum visceral nature gives us, and now we can picture as a gift - may or may not be accepted, and not as an external imposition manipulated. In this sense, equidistant from any biological or cultural determinism, but aware of our human condition specific bio-socio-cultural , we know that there is a proven biological basis, also scientifically, about the self of maternal sexuality.
We are in the first place, shown the effects of two hormones, oxytocin and prolactin . Both facilitate the mother-child symbiosis and promote the mother's body, which is the habitat (V) suitable for growth is available. Oxytocin, also called 'love hormone', is present at different times of the sexual life of women.
contraction produces the heartbeat and tremor of the uterus and ejection (VI) of milk, while that fosters love and care behavior directed at another adult in the case of sex between adults, so does the creature to at the time of childbirth and lactation. It is during childbirth and immediately after it, when high levels of oxytocin induce infatuation and symbiotic link madrecriatura, this phenomenon is known by the name of mark and is one of the most transcendent for quality of life of every human creatures.
Oxytocin is secreted in a pulsatile , like the tides of sexual pleasure which is involved . motherhood, with its release of oxytocin during all its phases, is also pulsed. Women connected to these drives and letting ourselves be guided by them, we would live the best and most healthy motherhood for us and for our creatures, it is the impulse of desire of women, and not medicine and technology, which in general should intervene only occasionally, I would have to be a true guide of motherhood.
Prolactin also be responsible for milk production also influences the behavior, providing a state of awareness of the needs of the child; induces nest-building, reduces interest sexual intercourse and increased care for and satisfy what the child wants and needs at all times. Modulates the action of oxytocin, directing all its effects to the creature. The neuroendocrine system is the maternity service to be carried out with joy. The pleasure, as you know Science @ s, male and female poets, is serving life.
Motherhood is thus a love that goes hand in hand with a series of physiological phenomena, in which the former prepares the next, with its rhythm, its flows and its drives. The alteration or bankruptcy of one of the following causes, but also, at any time, if the body and erotic impulse is not entirely cut off, you can get back into the natural physiology of the process. For example, a mother following a caesarean section could not breastfeed during the first week your baby, breastfeeding can recover her lying in bed, body to body, for as long as it takes.
Motherhood is not a disease, is a love, the frustration of being in love is what causes the disease (1). No author @ s the field of psychoanalysis (2) ensuring that it is the most intense love of all human life, both on the mother and the child, in fact, the experience of this love depends on the further development the ability to love the creature (3); say is when we charge the batteries of our emotional life.
maternity When we live disconnected from our bodies and their instincts - ever more frequently, getting carried away by the practices and social mandates that separate us from the creatures, we are frustrated in the production of hormonal substances and opiates that support maternal love. No formation of the symbiotic union with the creature, has implications for the mother, produces a profound emotional trauma and a great frustration, depression has become known as 'post-partum'.
The disconnection of our maternal instincts begins with ignorance and immobilization of the uterus, socially and culturally induced in childhood. Girls still grow in the uterus and contracted, because although it is now recognized the existence of infantile sexuality, the social practice of sex remains taboo and excluded, hence normally not permitted to channel the spontaneous expression of 'reflection orgastic' (VII) of girls. However, the uterus of girls should be developed and beating rhythmically moving, as was formerly the games are running at belly dancing, also called 'fertility' (4) . addition, the way of life at ground level,
habitual squatting posture for many tasks, and general postural freedom of women to stay open legs, also produced relaxation and uterine mobility. So the great twentieth-century sexologist (5), said that since the last centuries, the wombs of the women were hard, twitched spasmodically, and so the birth was traumatic.
Although our society, due to the above, give birth in pain is so common that we can say is 'normal', we can not lose sight of that pain is a mechanism warning that something is wrong, and in this sense is not can be considered part of the normal mechanism of labor (6). We must remember that to avoid pain and seek pleasure is the general means of action of the organic world. The pleasure and pain are organic regulatory mechanisms. Establish that the pain is associated with childbirth is an extrapolation of this regulatory mechanism, as well as mourn leave a baby unattended is to extrapolate the function of crying. In any case, women have to live in our bodies as they are, and expect that it is likely to have cramps in childbirth.
The uterus can be opened slowly and gently without pain, producing violent spasms or cramps (7). The difference is whether or not delivery is driven by sexual desire of women. In certain regions of Saudi Arabia are women still circle around the mother's womb by dancing to hypnotize with its movement and move your body for childbirth and not against it (8) . Ignorance, lack of confidence in our bodies, our general contracted by fear, and the immobilization of the uterus from childhood, makes us move against delivery. How much violence and unnecessary pain over generations! The hospital protocols for deliveries in general, do not take into account that women can not give birth naturally in a state of stress, and that the physiology of childbirth is a process regulated by mutual drives the mother and fetus. Mammalian females who do not live in captivity, stop smoothly and without pain, as well as women in some ancient societies and remote from our civilization. Our bodies are ready to give birth without pain as well as to perform other functions.
WHO (9) has provided recommendations on the delivery that emphasize respect for freedom of women decide what the process, the position you need, and, among other things that remain unmet in our society, should return to the traditional role of midwives attending home births and birthing centers that are outside hospitals.
systematic external intervention breaks the natural regulatory mechanisms including the emotional delivery.
disconnected from our sexual drives and our bodies, we can hardly merge with that of our child after childbirth, leaving us in the mark , indulge in a honeymoon during quarantine, becoming the lap and habitat for small creatures, and generally enjoy the pleasure of feeling attached to our body. The melee with the mother, whose lack occurs in the small creature in the psychic and corporeal, as serious injury, depends first and foremost, that the mothers we are connected with our own bodies and drives.
Motherhood for human creatures
creature immature human is born, some of their tissues and systems are not fully formed, and not even, like other mammals pups after birth, can keep us in standing and walking. This is due to the upright position acquired our ancestors, who shook the pelvic cavity making birth prematurely. So the period after birth is biologically a continuation of the pregnancy so you should continue the state of symbiosis of mother and child. During this exterogestación , the mother-child bond is guaranteed by an intense love, an attraction promoted by the neuroendocrine system. For the child, relationship with the mother is also an infatuation , an intense attraction to the mother's body and the desire to inhabit.
Therefore, any Science @ s @ s speaking to the mother is the habitat the little man. The tiny newborn human being only needs to be in that habitat; there knows crawl, find the nipple guided by smell and suck, and there is warmth, nutrition, safety, welfare. Their neuroendocrine system is regulated in synchrony with the mother, to regulate basal metabolism, which is why your heart rate, breathing and body temperature change when it is separated from the mother and was placed in a cradle (10). Has been clinically proven active separation creature neuroendocrine program intended to alert status, then producing high levels of hormones associated with stress, which in turn alter the basal metabolism of the creature (heart and respiration rate, body temperature ... ) (11). If the separation is maintained, it also maintains the stress, and maintenance of stress creates a toxic neurochemistry that affects the neurological system of the creature that is in process of formation (12). Also known to affect other systems in formation, as the tract. So much @ s author @ s say the lack of mother-child bond has a lifelong impact (13) . is not the same body of the mother to the crib, nor is it the mother's body than any other body. Gestation is not a series of unrelated phenomena, but rather each phenomenon depends on the past and of their peers, under the conditions of symbiosis that happens after birth is regulated by the phenomena of childbirth itself and nine months previous pregnancy. Babies, as psychology has shown neonatal and have consciousness, memory and memorabilia from several weeks before birth. Studies (14) made that show the creature distinguished by smell, the smell of its mother's milk from other milk, the mother's voice from other voices, familiar voices of the voices of newcomers, the mother tongue other languages, also recognizes the beat of the maternal body. Although the mother is disconnected from its instincts, the creature is not. The child has a neurological program to guide and control its growth, but can only work if you are in a state of relaxation on the mother's body: its habitat. We know it is the creature who is leading the process, and leads in the mother, for example, the composition and amount of milk to produce. The child sees only two alternatives: either be with the mother or be somewhere else, if in another place, the neuroendocrine system and neuromuscular activated to grow close, and actively planned for occasional states of alert (15) . Therefore, some specialists already mentioned, they say you should never separate the child from his mother, that such separation is only justifiable in the most extreme circumstances, even speak of this separation as a violation of the body of the child and their rights as a human being (16).
Women who have experienced motherhood with some internal connection, we also regard the separation as a tear inside, as a violation of our bodies. Since the attraction is mutual, then we can imagine the suffering of the creature corresponding to ours. The replacement of the maternal body by another body or a crib is not something trivial or innocuous. The severity of the disease that occurs depends on the type of mothering replacement. However, it must be said that in the current situation, many substitute mothering practiced by informed and sensitive to the desires of the creatures are much better than a mother's mothering uninformed and disconnected from their maternal instincts, with their priorities set in the social values \u200b\u200bprevailing commercial today, which are increasingly geared to the care of external appearance in social relations.
Symbiosis and the mean breastfeeding and mothering cosleeping (VIII). Bed sharing has long been criticized and banned by social norms, pediatric and psychological responsible haciéndosele even called sudden death syndrome. Recent studies show the opposite (17). Sudden death occurs most often when the baby does not sleep with the mother, and countries where the custom is always sleeping with the mother, such as China and Japan this syndrome does not exist. Recent studies on mental health in childhood prolonged recommend co-sleeping until at least five years of age (18). The practice of co-sleeping is also recommended by UNICEF.
Although human vitality and our ability to maneuver for survival are great, sometimes the denial of the maternal body and surrogate mothering is not at least give the child welfare, causing serious consequences short, medium and long term, especially when calls are skipped underestimate or survival, as is the cry of the creatures referred to warn of any deficiency.
clinical studies, neurological, and psychoanalytic epidemiological confirm the correlation between the disturbances of the development of the child in the perinatal period and various diseases in adulthood, and in particular studies have been done recently showing the seriousness of premature separation of the child from his mother. Some authors (19) claim that the universal priority of all public health systems is to provide the support necessary for all creatures to remain attached to their birth mother.
Currently, with rare exceptions, hospitals are the creatures away from the body of their mothers routinely for a variable time, or under the pretext of security, as if they had any importance. UNICEF has established a decalogue of minimum recommendations for maternity services in hospitals, and has launched the initiative 'The baby-friendly hospitals' (20) to promote compliance with these recommendations, and those of WHO for delivery. In the English State and there are several of these hospitals. It is also noted working towards the called Kangaroo Mother Care , based skin contact mother-child, which is being developed from the Breastfeeding Committee of the English Association Pediatrics (21). Without co-sleeping, a lack of body to body and skin to skin contact with mother, true love is suppressed primary and primal sexuality. The legitimate desire of the creature to inhabit the body of his mother, slandered and imagined as adult sex desire, is prohibited as undesirable and even pathological, and thus hinders the development of their capacity to love for the rest of his life. In short, the abolition of corporal primary love that brings the lack of an intimate maternity, injury and reduce the human capacity to love.
mother's lack of social relations
What characterizes the dear mother's love is the desire of well-being of their offspring, the maternal desire by its very nature is incompatible with a fluid emotional human suffering. The suffering of the creature's mother suffer, and so the symbiotic love makes the mother the guardian of the welfare of the child. This fluid Emotional was the substrate of the earliest human societies, and there are anthropological studies (22) that the companies have explicitly described 'maternal'. Human groups were formed around the mother and the expansion of relations between the maternal environment produced the brotherhood in human groups: a brotherhood that was not the result of political or religious ideas, but the result and capacity expansion loving mother encouraged by the desire of welfare and mutual care. The first empires and warrior societies and fratricidal rose against maternal societies (23). In societies maternal only important thing is the welfare of its members in the new companies of turf wars and struggles for power, human suffering is irrelevant. The women were subjugated and forced to live deprived of their desires was to hold another status other than motherhood, the physiological phenomena of the female reproductive system will not work with the impulse of desire and the creatures do not develop the heat momentum benefactor. Since then, labor is painful and has risks and difficulties. Also since then the creatures grow and socialize in a competitive and fratricide in fraternal societies, motherhood deserves great respect and social status. In societies fratricidal s like modern society today, motherhood is relegated to domestic and private spaces, and socially lacks the consideration it deserves. The women in our society immersed in the life and work, are conditioned to live motherhood as a nuisance. Sociologically speaking, this is nonsense, a flagrant contradiction. Mankind has built a society where motherhood is a nuisance! When the scale of values \u200b\u200band social recognition should be in the first steps, since it represents our welfare and continuity! Socially, not being what motherhood should be neither take the place it should occupy, a vacuum (24), a social vacuum in which all women and especially those who are unwilling or unable to leave their careers but want hij @ s, when they are mothers. One of the most pressing need is to ensure social and economic coverage for women who are aging.
Motherhood is not incompatible with work, but with the current labor market conditions, with its rigidity and its rules. The current conflict between motherhood and career is a constant aggression to our integrity as human beings. If motherhood comes to live as 'a nuisance', it is because is nadificada on the scale of social values. So the comparative use of the term coming out fits reality.
endearing Claiming Maternity has nothing to do with the return home of women, means, on the contrary, to recover the social recognition it deserves, its spaces and times. Lost motherhood means to recover its status as beloved who despise our dominant social values, which we have posed serious challenges to deprive mothers of their own space as citizens across the length and width of private and public social space, family and work ..
acceptance and recognition in public spaces, jobs and career of motherhood, and maternal it can flow in such spaces will undoubtedly be an antidote to fratricide. Humanize public spaces means, for example, that breastfeeding in public is no longer a scandal, or that the houses and buildings, streets, plazas, offices, parks, roads and urban transport, the model hiring or public health care, are designed to give priority to citizens of the mothers, the social relationship that shapes our humanity originally. Yes, there is much to walk still together @ s .
is not the same. C onclusion Motherhood is a succession of processes that occur primarily in a symbiotic relationship between two people during the primal stage: the mother who conceived, gestated, lights and you're breastfeeding, and the child is gestated, given birth and nursed. There is a continuity physiological, emotional and mental state throughout the development. Why is not the same mothering the mother or care that someone else can give the creature. Is not the same maternity paternity.
The main function of man, partner or husband of the mother, is to ensure that your son or daughter has a mother who belongs and to prevent anyone take it away, nobody violates the body of her child separating from her mother, that one shall trample the most basic of human rights is having a mother.
Any man who knew what the mother could never get into suspicion and jealousy, and not only respect the symbiotic period of the first year of life of their son or daughter, but fight for it is respected. Men's role is to support mothers, and in today's society do everything possible to remedy the lack of social fabric of mutual support among women. And when the creatures are autonomous, men's role is to protect their growth and learning and loving environment free as possible. The traditional male model must be modified, the warrior must take his armor to enter the field of unconditional love and accommodating to human creatures.
Given the abandonment of the creatures and the lack of dear mother is in this world, mothering is a must for any adult or sensitive adults. A contemporary scientist (25) said that if we do something for humanity and violence that plagues this world, when we saw a child, cogiéramos him in her arms.
knowledge, and therefore the recognition of what the mother and motherhood does not diminish but on the contrary, it increases the value, respect and support that we give all forms of mothering, most notably the fostering and adoption, as the most noble work that we can give.
believe it is essential maternity leave a year, as in countries like Sweden. And we labor flexibility necessary for mothers in rearing period to consider that can make your work with the creature in the workplace or part of the work done at home, and ensure their effective return to employment after the period of absence. It should encourage companies to employ nursing mothers, as they do with the disabled or over 45 years. Would be to start a way to protect mothers and give it the respect and social recognition it deserves, and also to humanize the labor and industrial spaces.
actually attach more than motherhood current working conditions, would have to attach the working conditions of motherhood.
Moreover, paternity leave is being asked in some sectors can not be a substitute for the extension of current maternity leave, as that parenting is not the same as maternity, or have it replaced but hold and support. There is no equality between motherhood and fatherhood, there is mutual support and solidarity. Equality between motherhood and fatherhood in practice, among other things, means the replacement of breastfeeding with a bottle (hence the commercial interests male torsos advertise with babies in arms), and equivalent to taking the child from their habitat. Therefore, this type of matching is in the direction of deepening the current lack of maternity leave, and maintaining continued violation of mother and child. Paternity, and any form of mothering, must be seen as an extension of motherhood. And it would be a contradiction to displace mothering motherhood when their function is to sustain and support it.
However, the necessary emotional involvement of fathers in parenting and equal partnership with domestic chores, has a profound sense for our human race, and that fosters reconciliation and development of the enormous biological and cultural resources at our disposal to recover lost social welfare.
