Birth and how you plan or choose to birth can be deeply personal.
This week there has been a lot of talk about home births in Australia and how insurance for home birth Midwife’s may change.
It got me thinking about when I launched the c-section course for Birth Beat. I had mostly lovely comments but a few about why was I wanting to promote c-section over vaginal births.
One thing I remind Mumma’s-to-be is that there is no such thing as a ‘normal’ or ‘right’ birth.
That kind of language sets women up to feel like their c-section birth wasn’t natural or normal. Or worse, that they failed at birth because they weren’t able to deliver their baby a certain way.
Let’s get one thing really clear. Regardless of how you birth, it can be a wonderful, challenging, overwhelming, incredible, scary and exciting experience regardless of which way it happened. There is no easy way out. No cheating. No right or wrong way to give birth. Childbirth is a completely individual and unique experience for every woman.
Have you had a c-section? Home birth? Doula present? I’d love to hear your experience. Was it a positive experience?
