With no real systems in place 🥺

Research shows pregnancy and birth bring major physical, hormonal, neurological, and emotional changes. Internal tissues and the pelvic floor can take months to heal, while rebuilding strength, posture, and core stability often takes close to a year. Hormones and brain chemistry linked to mood, stress, and bonding may need even longer to settle, and the psychological process of integrating a new identity as a mother can unfold over years, especially with high stress or limited support. This is not weakness. It is biology, and understanding that helps create more realistic expectations and greater compassion for mothers.

Evidence based care is so important.

Round-the-clock fetal monitoring leads to unnecessary C-sections. But it’s used in nearly every birth because of business and legal concerns, The Times found.

Truth is…

The 20th century African American midwife and the culture of that time, were highly spiritual and their faith was the anchor of the people. Therefore pregnant women were taught to have faith in their bodies ability to birth wonderfully. Today it is just as important to have faith in the higher power that you can handle the labor, and laugh, breathe, eat and dance until your baby is born. Don’t let the media shake your belief in your ability to have a normal birth. Get a midwife, a doula, take natural birth childbirth classes, talk to your baby, you are a team and talk to the Creator for peace in your decision making and knowing. And please read my book, that addresses these concepts in “Mothering the Mother: African American Postpartum Traditions, Recipes and Healing.”
