My focus is teaching about rights and options in childbirth, and exploring normal physiological birth.

I am dedicated to spreading awareness and normalizing the birth process, and options.

And what about not just leaving things up to "hope".

And actually doing the things that reduce the chances of having an c-section.

Words followed by actions are key.

Otherwise they're just words with a gamble behind it.

We have to use our common sense.

A provider who wants to avoid a cesarean will not be recommending an unnecessary induction.

Getting in and out of bed or a car after a C-section is no joke but a few small adjustments can save you a LOT of pain 👇

✨ Log roll, don’t crunch
Avoid sitting straight up like a sit-up (your core will hate you). Instead, roll onto your side first, then use your arms to push yourself up while swinging your legs over the edge.

✨ Use your arms, not your abs
Your core just went through surgery. Let your arms and legs do the work whenever possible.

✨ Pillow = your best friend
Hold a pillow against your incision when moving, coughing, or laughing. That counter-pressure can make a huge difference.

✨ Getting into bed
Sit first then lower onto your side then roll onto your back. Reverse it to get out.

✨ Getting in the car
Back up to the seat then sit down first then pivot both legs in together like a “mermaid swing” 🧜‍♀️

✨ Getting out of the car
Swing both legs out together then plant your feet then push up with your arms (not your abs)

✨ Take it slow
Rushing = more strain, more pain. Move intentionally, not quickly.

✨ Accept the help
This isn’t weakness, this is recovery from major abdominal surgery.

Your body deserves support, patience, and gentleness right now 🤍

Birth and breastfeeding are connected.
Interventions and trauma impacts breastfeeding more than people know. Better births lead to better breastfeeding outcomes.

There is a quiet kind of courage in a woman who chooses to birth her first baby at home.

Because she is told, over and over again, that her body is a question mark.

That first babies are unpredictable.

That she should “see how her body does.”

That she should go where it’s “safer”…just in case she fails.

As if her body needs to audition for trust.

As if birth is something she must prove herself worthy of.

But some women feel something deeper.

A knowing.

That their body is not a test.

Not a machine waiting to malfunction.

Not a risk to be managed from the very beginning.

So they choose differently.

They choose hands that watch instead of control.

Eyes that read birth instead of rushing it.

A space where their body is not doubted before it even begins.

They choose to meet their first baby without an audience waiting for something to go wrong.

And in that space, they are not trying to prove anything.

They are simply… birthing.

Not performing.

Not defending.

Not waiting for permission.

Just opening.

Just responding.

Just becoming.

Because their body was never the question.

And maybe…it never needed to be proven at all.

Remember feeding on demand is KING!

But, no less than every 2-3 hours and the time starts from the beginning of the feed!

If we actually cared about mothers and babies, physiological birth would be protected like it actually matters and it would be the default.

But it’s not.

It’s often routinely interrupted.

Managed heavily.

Rushed like we are in a race.

And controlled like a ticking bomb.

And then we sit back and act confused when outcomes don’t match what the body is designed to do.

The science isn’t unclear.

It’s not.

The evidence and science is crystal clear.

Undisturbed, physiological birth supports better outcomes for healthy mothers and babies.

It also best support postpartum.

It also best supports breastfeeding.

It also best supports attachment and bonding.

It also support future pregnancies.

I’m not saying that interventions are never necessary to maintain health and life.

Listen again, in the absence of complications, undisturbed, physiological birth supports better outcomes for mothers and babies.

If the system really cared about mothers and babies, the support of that would be not only important, but supported, protected and the default around the world.

As a nurse, YOU ARE ALSO THERE TO ADVOCATE, so what do you mean “why are you telling me?”

You, as a nurse, are the person that patients see the MOST during their whole labor and hospital stay.

YOU are the person on hospital staff that gives them most of their care.

What do you mean “why are you telling me?”

You want people to walk in trusting you when this is how they are received?

Did your provider explain everything and gain your informed consent BEFORE inserting their fingers into your body?

💕 I’M SORRY 💕

Dear families of breech babies,

I’m sorry for the shame you were made to carry for simply carrying a breech baby.

I’m sorry for the tears, the fear, the begging your baby to turn, the appointments that made you feel broken, the language that made your body sound defective.

I’m sorry society and a flawed medical system convinced you that your baby’s position meant your body was incapable of birth.

I’m sorry for the unnecessary cesareans.

I’m sorry your pregnancy was stolen from you and replaced with terror.

I’m sorry we robbed you of joy, trust, and peace.

You were never broken.

Your baby was never wrong.

There was nothing defective about either of you.

It wasn’t you.

It was us.

And I’m so sorry.

✦

Dear breech baby,

I’m sorry on behalf of a world that forgot how magical you are.

I’m sorry we denied you a normal physiological birth.

I’m sorry we failed to give you a voice.

I’m sorry your mother was made so afraid that you felt her fear too.

You were never the problem.

You were never “malpositioned.”

You were never a mistake.

You were a dancer.

A spiral.

A tiny body moving through your mother’s pelvis with ancient choreography.

You were pure magic.

And we should have trusted you more.

It wasn’t you.

It was us.

Forgive us.

-Love,
Flor Cruz

If your ‘support’ for twin birth requires an epidural, an OR, baby A to be head down and a list of conditions, you’re not supporting birth.

You’re managing liability.

Let’s be real for a second.

Twin birth didn’t suddenly become “too dangerous.”

The system just became less skilled at supporting it.

Because when the default is:
— restrict movement
— numb the body
— relocate to a surgical suite
— control every variable

That’s not confidence in birth at all.

It’s fear of what happens when you can’t control it.

And fear-based care always comes with conditions.

Conditions that look like “safety” but often function like compliance.

There are providers who can safely support va**nal twin birth, without requiring an epidural
without forcing an OR, without turning physiology into a liability checklist.

But that requires something the system doesn’t prioritize anymore:
✨ Skill
✨ Patience
✨ Trust in the process
✨ And the ability to act when needed, not control everything “just in case”

You deserve a provider who is trained beyond protocols.

Not one who needs birth to fit inside them.

Because “you can do it… but only if you do it our way” isn’t real support.

It’s permission.

And birth was never meant to be something you had to earn permission for.

This will ruffle feathers. Good.

-Love,
Flor Cruz

Ever heard of Parava**nal birth?

It’s extremely rare but real.

This is a childbirth complication where the baby is delivered through a tear in the va**nal wall (lateral or posterior) instead of the normal va**nal opening.

This isn’t typical tearing.

This is a deeper rupture of the va**nal tissue itself.

It’s often associated with:
– Prior va**nal or pelvic trauma
– A rigid or non-yielding perineum
– Connective tissue disorders
– And in some cases, intense or rapid birth dynamics

When this happens, it requires immediate surgical repair.

Many people have never heard of this and it can be quite jarring to know that in these rare cases a baby can bypass the va**na and push their way through a va**nal wall.

While some cases have limited trauma to surrounding areas, it can lead to significant hemorrhage and severe pelvic tissue damage.

This is about understanding the full spectrum of what birth can look like, especially when the body is under pressure.

Because while this is rare, it raises important questions.

Are we protecting the body’s natural ability to open or are we sometimes pushing it past its limits?

Birth isn’t just about getting the baby out.

It’s about how the body is supported in the process.

And when injuries like this happen, they deserve:
✔️ Recognition
✔️ Proper repair
✔️ Real postpartum support
✔️ And honest conversations

You deserve to know what’s possible, not just what’s common.
