I’m not pregnant and have not had a baby yet but I have learned so much through this account and feel so excited to know there are more options than just hospital birth. I thought the only way to birth was with an epidural. I was never taught any of this. I thought the only position you could give birth in was on your back. I’m 25 years old now and have learned so much because of access to this knowledge and imagery. It is not sexual, it is not explicit, it is the most natural thing in the world and hiding this info places shame on it. Make it accessible. Have it pop up on someone’s feed so one day it’s normal and not taking anyone by surprise.
I care about this issue because this account shows us what doctors in big hospitals won’t tell us about birth and our birthing options. We don’t always need a hospital birth for a safe and effective delivery!
Labor and delivery is not a “one size fits all” experience, yet you would t think that when looking at the birthing options accessible to women here locally. Let’s take an opportunity to educate our healthcare teams and local mothers on the options truly available. Making water births an accessible option that women can choose without forfeiting their doctor or hospital care team will allow women greater confidence and autonomy in one of the most important and most unpredictable experiences in life.
Our community women deserve natural, holistic options alongside medical care. A safe environment for birthing mothers where everyone feels their needs being met and babies arriving earthside in a calm, natural environment!
As a mama who has had 2 homebirths, 1 water birth & 1 non water, I believe women deserve to have this as an option when they are laboring in the hospital! Having a water birth made labor so much easier and relaxing and it helped to calm my very anxious nerves! Let mama's birth the way they are suppose to birth - in a quiet relaxing and empowering environment!
You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
