In every choice a woman makes during childbirth – from epidurals and C-sections to natural home births – a potential judgment of her will linger. What new mother really needs this added pressure with all the uncertainty she already feels?? All mothers really want is to feel safe and comforted through this process, just as every newborn baby will need love no matter how he or she enters into this world.
What if it’s possible for women to choose how they want to give birth, without letting the fear of being judged drive them?
What if in the face of judgment, women in childbirth could still feel supported in their choices?
Together as women, what we need is to have compassion and understanding toward one another, rather than to judge each other’s bodies, births and babies! Birth is not a competition! Now more than ever we need to learn how to celebrate and support one another!! Epidural, C-section or natural is not what truly matters. What’s most important is that fear doesn’t take your power away from your magnificent journey!!
Since each and every woman carries her own personal comfort zone, when truly supported, each would make slightly different choices for birth. Let us band together as we create that very sacred space for all women to feel free rather than afraid!!! We invite you to share your thoughts!! Please like and share!
