This OB is welcoming me into this csection. He understands women regard this birth space just as sacred as a vaginal delivery. He does not discriminate against his cesarean patients: they are entitled to the SAME psychological support of their birth teams as vaginal deliveries.
This is the beginning of a new era: To my millennial sisters and the up and coming gen z soon-to-be birthers β YOU hold the power β YOU choose where you want to birth your babies. YOU choose your words.
There are facilities that open their doors [and more importantly, their hearts] and recognize that the world isnβt starting to change, the world HAS already changed.
It is the day of the woman.
The millennial woman οΏΌis fierce and stubborn and cannot be fear-mongered any longer.
She is equipped with education.
She has doulas, she has midwives, she has therapeutic birth photography.
Millennial women are choosing to play a vocal role during the birth of their babies.
They are no longer choosing the hospitals their insurances are accepted at, nor the 5 star rated ones; they are smart and they caught on, seeing their mothers, friends and neighbors who that choice did not serve. οΏΌ
They are consciously choosing birth facilities that put a womanβs mental health in birth on a high list of priorities. Where a woman is respected.
What other major surgery has people awake, actively participating in their surgery? None because Birth is a sacred process EVEN when itβs a csection surgery.
Millennials are choosing Hospitals that acknowledge women need their birth team in the operating room. Hospitals supporting birth photographers in the operating room, because csection birth is STILL sacred and birth photos are a therapeutic tool for the woman and family to later process.
Millennial birthing families are not naive, they no longer believe they donβt get equal opportunities in the operating room because of hospital policies or sterile fields, they are too smart for this, they know itβs discrimination.
Millennial & gen z families will soon constitute 100% of L&D patients. The world will see these families seeking only facilities that truly support the woman & her birth team.
