Ep 27 Why Are We Messing With God's Design?

Empowered Birth, Love, and Life

From due dates to interventions, we are constantly being made to not trust birth and God's design for us and baby. My entire belief around birth has evolved the longer I have been a doula. I have witnessed abuse and medical gaslighting from hospitals, birth centers, and home birth practitioners, but I have seen the most incredible outcomes with the moms who TRUST and surrender the most. The mothers who really really don't want to mess with anything. You are only able to fully do that when you really believe that God (or Universe depending on what you believe in) designed everything perfectly. Women shouldn't HAVE to resort to free birthing to avoid the BS. We should have a full support system so we can feel relaxed and at ease in our birth. I know many say "that is with just me and my husband"... but I feel that is from the fear of someone messing with your birth. What if you had a team that showed up and just supported you when needed? Hot/Cold Therapy, entertain older siblings, help dad get a much needed break, counter pressure you so you feel amazing each wave, make you something to eat while the partner helps you..... I feel it doesn't have to be free birth to receive the full autonomous birth. It has to be a team of people who TRUST you and have no fear and want to support you to have an amazing birth. I also love having someone who is trained to assist IF it's needed. That's just me. Everything starts with trust. Trust God/Universe's design!
