It's not only one day...and you matter too!
There is a narrative in our culture that says how you give birth doesn't matter. That it's only one day and no one gets a medal for it. That you should expect to throw your birth plan out the window and park your dignity at the door, because giving birth is not about you, it's about the baby. A healthy baby, to be specific. That's all that matters, right? WRONG.
​
It is not selfish or unrealistic or at odds with safety to want a dignified and positive experience. It is not too much to ask to be treated with respect and to come out the other side feeling cared for, happy, and whole. Because your health and emotional well-being matter a great deal too - after all, you're the one who will be taking care of this new little life. How could that NOT matter?
My philosophy
Your body. Your baby. Your choice.
It's that simple.
You deserve an experience you can look back on and know that, no matter what actually occurred on the day, you were heard, supported, and treated like the autonomous goddess you are.
