| Introduction | I am a Mum who is passionate about natural birth; about inspiring other Mums-to-be that it CAN be a joyful experience- something to feel excited & confident about, as opposed to anxious & fearful. I've had two wonderful natural births (one breech) in hospital birth centres without the need for any intervention, pain-relief or stitches. I should also say that I have a very low pain threshold! I'm not looking for a medal...I just want to share my experiences as an example of how preparation and a positive mindset CAN make an amazing difference to your overall birth experience. It doesn't just come down to luck. I feel so sad that childbirth has become so medically managed, focused on risk, and consequently feared; that intervention is now so commonplace and women aren't trusting so much in their bodies or in their innate abilities to birth their babies naturally. If my story can inspire or make a difference to even one woman on the journey to parenthood, I'll be very happy. If I can be part of a movement back toward normal, instinctive birth, so that my girls are not denied this right when they are having kids of their own, I'll be ecstatic. This is the sole purpose of my blog. |
