I will say it again. It's not our job to place our narratives onto clients. As an educator, its my job to provide you with all of the information and then support you in the choices you make for yourself.
Do I sometimes think in my head, "oh boy, here we go?" Of course I do. I want you to embrace your strength. But I am not you. Your experience is not mine. What's best for me may not be what is best for you.
Telling women that their choices about their births are not valid, is shame provoking. True informed consent involves learning about your options, the pros and the cons, and when one size doesn't fit all.
I teach families having a homebirth, an unmedicated hospital birth, a medicated birth, VBAC and those having cesareans. I hope you all feel supported!
