🌸 History is Herstory too 🌸
My earliest exposure to natural birthing was through the incredible midwives I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. They taught me that birth is not only a medical event but a deeply human experience — one where support, respect, and empowerment matter as much as safety.
So many of the global conversations in obstetrics right now are focused on reducing unnecessary interventions and de-medicalising birth where it’s safe to do so. This means listening more, honouring women’s choices, and protecting the natural process whenever possible.
Midwives are an integral part of this journey — their calm presence, deep skill, and advocacy for women help create birth spaces where mothers feel seen, safe, and supported. Our teamwork is not new; it’s a natural collaboration that has always belonged to birth.
Here’s to continuing to learn, grow, and keep birth centred on women — their bodies, their choices, their stories. 💗
