✨You can birth a baby without anyone’s hands ever being in/touching your va**na or v***a. I’m serious! You don’t NEED anyone to touch you or “check you” in order to birth your baby.✨

I know the medicalized birth system has told you otherwise. I know your nurse or OB told you “we have to check your dilation”, but that was a lie. Nobody HAS to. It is your choice and it is rarely necessary. You can absolutely positively give birth without ever knowing your dilation. It doesn’t make a difference.

✨You also don’t NEED anyone providing what some like to call “perineal massage” or “support” while you’re trying to focus on pushing your baby out either. If you feel you need extra support on your perineum, you are going to instinctually reach down and give that to yourself in most instances. But nobody should automatically be touching you.✨

The obstetric industry’s obsession with putting their hands in our va**na and unnecessarily touching us during birth is gross and rooted in trying to control and pathologize birth. Besides the act of catching the baby (which is also something you can do yourself if you want), nobody’s hands ever need to be anywhere near your va**na in a normal birth without a complication that requires hand in help (like say shoulder dystocia etc).✨

Hands off birth.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but attachment parenting in a detached society is exhausting.
No. It’s not your baby.
There is nothing wrong with them if they want to be held all the time.
No. It’s not you.
You’re not doing it wrong.
Your feelings of exhaustion and depletion and being touched out are normal- considering the weight you’re carrying. Those feelings, and the deep ache underneath them - are a reminder that you were never meant to do this alone.
Babies want to be held. And we want to hold them close. Exclusive/extended breastfeeding, cosleeping, babywearing- all of these are intuitive, ancestral practices that have kept our species alive throughout history. Attachment parenting is just parenting!!
But never before have we parented in such isolation. There were always other hands stirring the soup pot, other aunties, and sisters, and uncles and grandmas, and cousins, and neighbors helping with the daily tasks and child rearing. Other arms carrying the weight of raising humanity. Together.
And now, it’s just you. Alone in the kitchen, trying to stir the soup and bounce the baby and play with the toddler and keep an eye on the big kid and answer the phone and sweep up the mess and tackle the laundry and .....
No matter how magical your baby wrap is — it can’t take the place of a whole village.
So no, you’re not doing it wrong. You’re just trying to stay connected in a world set on tearing you apart.
But don’t give up mama. I know you’re tired and touched out, but you’re giving your baby exactly what she needs. And maybe one day, when she’s raising her own babies,there will be a village around her, helping her hold it all together.
