Every birthing woman needs and deserves to be nurtured, cared for and pampered, but in essence… only she, the birthing mother has the power to birth her baby.
With the optimal care and support, the majority of women can achieve a natural birth. Women, who are educated and knowledgeable about birth, have proper nutritional support and take the time to find caregivers who are professionals in normal birth have a lesser probability of needing medical interventions.
Birthing women have the right to be treated with respect, dignity, and feel empowered to make choices to have a safe and supported birth. No matter where or how a woman births the support and care she receives should remain woman-centered, respectful, and full of love.
Unless you're living under a rock, you're aware of the coronavirus. COVID-19. The viral pneumonia that has caused a global pandemic. 2020 is a year that we will never forget. There are a lot of unknowns. And for pregnant women, what is supposed to be a beautiful time in their lives, has become a time of fear and uncertainty. Pregnant women all over the world are now faced with a challenge they never could have imagined.
In the US, 71% of women choose to have some type of epidural anesthesia pain relief during labor (Stanford Medicine, 2017). Most of the time, epidural anesthesia is not medically necessary. It is chosen by mothers who do not want to experience the pain that comes with childbirth, or it’s been suggested to get an epidural. Epidurals are also used when a woman is not progressing, or they have hit their threshold for labor pain and ask for it.
To be better people, we have to dig a little deeper, really get to the root of what it is that holds us back or allows us to give up, and what we need to push ourselves forward. We have to be willing to get uncomfortable, because this is how we grow. No pain, no gain. Being better versions of ourselves is not something we just hope for, it's something we work for.
Birth is a natural process. A woman already knows how to birth her baby. When given the space, she will realize just how strong and powerful she really is.
The bond you create with your little one will sustain you through all the hills and valleys of your journey together. Forgive and heal old wounds, surround yourself with positivity and wander with curiosity into the great unknown of motherhood.
