💫 What is a “positive birth” experience…
There is a big misconception that a “positive birth” must be the “perfect birth”
Someone who has had a positive birth experience usually feels well informed, in-control and empowered during their birth.
Women can have the most straightforward textbook vaginal birth... but if they did not feel in-control or listened to during their birth they will most likely view this as a negative experience.
Alternatively, if a birth has several deviations…with the right mindset and support this can still be an empowering positive experience.
🤍 Birth prep....
Preparing for your birth and mindset work during pregnancy will have huge implications to whether your birth experience will be positive.
When thinking about your birth preferences, consider how you want to “feel” during your birth, rather than the focus just being on what you want to happen.
Educate yourself on the possible deviations, be aware of your choices and enter birth fully informed, and focus on the things you can control during birth.
