We were never meant to fear the blood of birth 🩸

This is not mess.
It’s evidence of a body opening exactly as it’s meant to 🌹

Warm. Familiar. Expected.
The colour of work done, of thresholds crossed, of life arriving ✨

Can we shift our mindset, shift the narrative in our generation?

From the push for sterility to a recognition of the sacred 🤲🏼
From danger to transition 🦋
From something to erase, to something we fully understand ❤️

A woman opens.
A body releases.
A baby arrives from blood, through blood, into breath.
Birth does not happen without blood 🩸

We’ve been taught to fear this moment.
To clean it quickly.
To look away.

But blood here is not about loss
it’s about origin, completion, return 🙏🏼

Can we meet this moment differently?
Can we accept the blood of birth?
More than that, can we revere it?

This is birth as it has always been:
earthy, alive, unapologetically human ❤️

The truth? Birth is allowed to be ✨everything✨

Birth is movement.
Birth is becoming.
Birth is a woman shifting, rising, collapsing, opening…
Again and again and again 🌀

Kneeling in the bath, breath deep and low 🛁
Gripping her partner’s hand as another wave rolls through 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾
Pulling against a rebozo, finding strength she didn’t know she had 💪🏽
On hands and knees over the bed, surrendering to gravity and instinct 🌀
Leaning her full weight into the man who loves her ❤️
Walking the stairs between worlds 🌌

And finally: the softest landing 🫧
Cradling her baby in the water as he kisses her cheek 🤍

This is birth in its real, unfiltered rhythm.
Not tidy. Not linear.
A dream-like unfolding
Primal, intelligent, entirely her own ✨

And it’s all okay 🤲🏼
It’s okay to roar.
It’s okay to shake.
It’s okay to want the end to come faster.
It’s okay to ask for touch, space, silence, or someone’s steady breath beside you.

ALL of it belongs 🕊️

When a woman is supported, truly supported
She finds her way through each phase with her own wisdom leading.
Birth is not meant to be managed into neatness;
it’s meant to be met with reverence 🙏🏼

And for the women who weren’t held like this
Who weren’t honoured, supported, or witnessed in their full expression
Please know this: we see what you carried, we honour what you endured,
and acknowledge that you deserved so much more:
more tenderness, more skill, presence, and spaciousness ❤️

Birth in its fullness is powerful, messy,
shapeshifting, and beautifully normal.

Every woman deserves to meet it this way 🤲🏼✨

Birth energy is beautiful, ordinary and holy at the same time 🌀

Birth doesn’t always look dramatic, urgent, or wild.
Sometimes… it looks like a chilled, playful mama,
in-family-jokes,
kids just hanging out nearby...
It’s just another ordinary morning 🌞

✨ Because sometimes birth is life continuing as life arrives ✨

As mother, , writes: “Birth can be a normal family event.”

And yes, it is always profound, always sacred,
but it can also be deeply familiar ❤️

When physiology is honoured,
when hormones are protected,
when the mother feels safe,
when those around her know how to observe 🫧
Birth can unfold with ease 🤲🏼

“A baby is born… amidst the happenings of the everyday swirling around us. No twinkle lights, no affirmations or outside influences, no pool or pain relieving theories, tricks or tools. Laundry piled up on the table, and the local op shops entire supply of towels i’d bought just the week before.”

Just presence.
Just trust.
Just Life.

“Undisturbed birth for me has never been about fleeing the system or proving anything… but about protecting physiology and birthing in the safest environment for me.”

And this matters all the more now
as physiological birth is questioned,
misrepresented, even pathologised.

Videos like this, words + representation like this mother’s
remind us of something simple and powerful:

Birth is not inherently risky 👈🏼👈🏼
but interfering with it unnecessarily can be 👀

And that nuance is being lost in headlines 🚩

There are women who choose undisturbed birth
not because they’ve been influenced,
or are in anyway reckless, naïve, or unaware.
but because they understand physiology,
and choose to honour it.

“Birth can unfold easily, with joy and laughter, without incident.”

If you’ve experienced a birth that surprised you with its normalcy,
its softness, its lack of drama then please share with us in the comments if you feel called 💬🕊

A 10.5 lb baby. A mother in total authority 🔥

And yet, so often, we hear:
Baby’s “too big” “too small”
Or the “the scan shows...”
A cascade of fear. Anxiety. Intervention.
Doctors, protocols, and hospital policies waiting to take over.

When the truth is:
🫧 Mothers grow babies they are capable of birthing 🫧

Scans are estimates (at best). Measurements are not verdicts.
Fears of tears, of impossibility, of “failure”
are projections, not truths.

Birth is not a battle 🙏🏼
A bigger baby’s size is rarely cause for concern.
And most importantly:
Intervention is not inherently safer 👈🏼👈🏼

We need to share the truth, that a “bigger” baby’s birth can be:
💗 Safe
💗 Attainable
💗 Calm
💗 Joyful
💗 Complete
💗 Sovereign

Mama, your body grows the baby it can birth 🤲🏼
Your baby knows when they are ready to be born, and how ✨
And when fear is left at the door, birth happens 🕊️

We’re told a baby facing the spine is a problem ⚠️

A warning.
A complication that needs managing…

But before policy,
before protocol,
before birth was ‘managed’
there was something much more ancient:

✨ A mother’s body responding with perfect intelligence ✨

She shifts. She softens.
Her hips move in spirals and waves
that make sense only to her and her baby 🫧

No urgency.
No interruption.
No attempt to “correct” what wasn’t wrong.
To fix something that was never broken.

Her body adapts 🫧
Instinctively. Fluidly. Completely.

Because position is not always a verdict.
Nor is it always a danger.
It’s information 👈🏼👈🏼
A story, not a crisis.

And sometimes that story looks like:
🌀Deep movement
🌀 Low, instinctive sound
🌀 A rhythm all their own
🌀 A baby descending in alignment with its own blueprint

Posterior birth doesn’t always mean harder.
It doesn’t always mean longer.

Sometimes posterior birth is nothing dramatic.
Just a mother, her breath,
and a baby completing their unique journey
Exactly as designed ✨

To every woman who’s been told her body might struggle:

You are not the risk.
Your physiology is wisdom.
And sometimes all it needs is patience, presence,
and a room that trusts what’s unfolding 🕊

If you’ve birthed a posterior baby, how did your body lead you?
Share if you feel called; your story may become someone else’s courage 💬

Mastery. Rhythm. Sovereignty. Physiology & Midwifery at its finest ✨

Breech birth - calm, instinctive, embodied.
Not a crisis to be controlled,
but a variation to be respected 🙏🏼

Here, birth unfolds in its natural intelligence:
hips undulating instinctively,
breath intuitively guides,
hands remain still, unless invited,
voices are soft and steady.

No one rushing. No one overpowering. No one doubting.

Just trust 🕊
Human, clinical, ancestral, and spiritual;
all woven together 🤲🏼

✨This is what breech birth can look like✨

When the hormonal blueprint is protected.
When safety isn’t mistaken for control.
And when midwives are given space
to practice the skill, reverence, and art they carry
in remembrance of the bodies intrinsic intelligence 🌀

To the mothers of breech babes who never had this chance,
whose births were redirected by fear, protocol,
policy or litigation disguised as safety:

✨ We honour you
✨ We see what was taken
✨ You deserved safety without surrendering autonomy

Let this account not be a comparison,
but a remembrance.

A reminder of what becomes possible
when birth is protected instead of managed 🫧

Because breech birth isn’t reckless.
It isn’t fringe. It isn’t irresponsible.

It is birth.
It is a normal variation.

And when supported with skill, respect, and calm
it can be nothing short of breathtaking ✨
