Where you choose to give birth and who you choose into your birth space will arguably be the biggest decision you make during your pregnancy. Homebirth, Birth center, Hospital? Midwife or doctor? No provider?

Consider your life story. There may be experiences you have had in your past that limit your ability to have trust in the current medical model of care. You may have a history of trauma and feel safest in your own home. You may have a strong understanding or belief in physiologic birth and desire more autonomy for your birthing time. Educating yourself about the options available to you is the first step toward claiming responsibility for your birth experience.

Consider your life story. There may be experiences you have had in your past or medical conditions that make it safer for you to deliver with access to a medical team and support. You may have a history of trauma and struggle to connect with your body. You may want access to pain medication. Educating yourself about the options available to you is the first step toward claiming responsibility for your birth experience.

Consider your life story. There may be experiences you have had in your past or stories you carry that make you desire a physiological birth process under the care of a provider who understands and respects your wishes. You may feel safe knowing medical care is not too far away. Educating yourself about the options available to you is the first step toward claiming responsibility for your birth experience.

Consider your life story and particular circumstance. There may be experiences and situations that come up that are outside your control. Educating yourself about the options available to you is the first step toward claiming responsibility for your birth experience.

Where and with whom you birth your baby is a personal decision for each birthing person to make and trust in! Learn what your options are and make the decisions that are best for you and your family!

Want to learn more about your options? I offer virtual consultations and I’m available to help you sort through your options!

“PSA- they skipped a chapter in your birth book. Or maybe, they missed the whole damn point.
Birth is not about measuring your dilation. It's not about practicing positions or measured breathing. It's not about neat stages or your carefully curated plan.

Birth is becoming one with the universe. It's about being broken open, brought to your knees, humbled by the magnitude of the sensation- and then breaking through.

Birth is meeting your humanity. It’s suddenly feeling connected to every mother on earth. It's recognizing that- despite our differences and the walls of separation we create-we've all felt the same pain.

Birth is returning to nature. It is becoming a volcano. A tornado. A hurricane of strength. It is holding a storm within you. It is the highs and the crashes. Expanding and contracting. Testing the limits of this humanly form.

Birth is heavy. Grounded. You are a mountain, a planet, the world.
You are a sweaty human in a paper gown under fluorescent lights and you are the universe. You are the most sacred expression of existence. A divine portal to the magical unknown. A starship infinity. Puking into a plastic bucket.

Birth is a psychedelic trip beyond any drug you've ever dropped. It’s sitting at the feet of god and then realizing that she is within you, and you are birthing her, and you are her. It is hovering above your birthing scene at a dizzying distance while simultaneously being more present in your body than any before. It is feeling people whispering down the hall and hearing the heat of the washcloth on your neck. It is leaning into the sweetest comfort of touch one moment and then recoiling from the very thought of another human close to you the next.

Birth is beyond our neatly organized words. It transcends measure and reason and logical thought. Sweating and swaying and swearing in languages you didn't know you knew.

They skipped a chapter in your birth book. So... I'll write it for you:
You are birthing a galaxy and you are the stars and you have been turned inside out and you are peeing in your nightgown. . There is no need to learn or plan. You are birth. You are the source of that power.”

Transition/Transformation

Sometimes we will find time to rest….with a cool cloth and a gentle touch. When that moment arrives, lean in and trust the calm. Let the universe hold all that you carry, drawing your strength and courage to your center. The moment is near when you will meet your baby! You hold the strength in your very bones and are surrounded by the power of all those who went before.

Positions for labor and birth series….. Upright positions in labor

Standing, kneeling, and squatting take advantage of gravity to help the baby move down into the pelvis. In addition, squatting increases the size of the pelvis, providing more room for the baby to maneuver and descend.

Positions for labor and birth series...The Birth Stool
The birth stool and other upright positions use gravity to aid the descent of the baby during birth and pushing. Some people will experience a natural urge to push in this position or even have the fetal ejection reflex.

Pushing isn’t actually necessary during normal labor and birth. When left undisturbed, a birthing woman can experience what is known as the fetal ejection reflex (FER).

Did you use a birth stool in labor? Did you experience an urge to push or FER? See my experience in comments.

Come quietly
Come with a soft heart and a gentle voice
Come with hands willing, but patient
Come prepared for stillness, ready for action
Come with a willingness to transform into what is needed in that moment
Come with tenderness and a comforting touch
Come with reverence and calm
Come with laughter, a smile, eyes that have seen
Come with love

Keeper of the spaces between
Come, share this space…hold…be
And, in turn, let your self be held

Positions in labor and birth series…..Upright positions enable flexibility in the pelvis and facilitates the extension of the outlet, enabling the baby to get in a better position and pass through the pelvis faster. When you are upright, your womb tilts forward during contractions. You are likely to have stronger and more effective pressure waves, potentially leading to a shorter labor. Upright mobility during your birthing time can also help with keeping you more comfortable.
