I don’t post ANYTHING political, but I’m breaking my own rule for this one!!!!
🚨 URGENT!!🚨
Women’s rights to have medical freedom for their birthing choices is in jeopardy! There is a house bill being voted on THIS Sunday, April 28th to restrict the rights of midwives to practice here in Texas. This is prevent some midwives from having a job, it will prevent some women from seeking care or at least the care they desire. We need you to let these law makers know that we oppose this bill!
If you don’t know, my first baby was born via C-section. (Very unnecessary c-section, it was a doctors lack of waiting for the process of birth to happen, less than 10 hours of total labor and never at risk for complications). My second was a VBAC in a hospital with a man who was know in the birth community as being a Godsend. If I were with other care providers, I would potentially never have seen a birth in any other room other than an OR.
My last 2 babies were born at HOME with midwives! Again I would have never been given the chance to physically deliver my babies the way God created my body to do so if it weren’t for 1. The OB who was like a midwife in a doctors coat (and who’s own grandmother was a MIDWIFE!) and 2. The midwives that attended my births.
I want my daughters to have access to that level of care if that’s what they want. I don’t want them to have to experience an unnecessary c-section because that’s what we have access to. By removing access to quality holistic care all we are doing is hurting women, children and their rights.
This is a freedom of medical choice issue!
