so happy to be reading more about birth on here and especially posts that are about empowering women and reminding them that their bodies know exactly what to do in order to birth their babies. I really believe that hospitals are not the best place to give birth, you go to hospital when you are ill, pregnancy is not a sickness it is huge rite of passage for women and something that we need to take back.
I birthed my last daughter unassisted, i know what my body is capable of, but sadly so many women do not xxxx
I knew I'd find you here :) Absolutely! Hospitals are good for sick people. The word 'patient' already implies illness. And unconsciously women believe they are sick and need help. When in reality, we have put children on this earth for centuries without any help. Or maybe our aunts, or sisters. I love the sentence in Laura Shanley's book: If birth were as dangerous as they make it out to be, we would simply not exist as a species. Much love to you my unassisted home-birthing sister 🤗
I absolutely agree! I also had an unassisted birth with my daughter, and I'll be posting about it next!!!!
