I'm sick of people asking doctors and midwives about how they should give birth- instead of considering how the babies themselves need to come out of their mothers' bodies. Nothing could be further from the truth when most babies are born in drugs and pain in the hospital. They need empathy and consideration. They don't need hooks, tubes and electrodes screwed into their scalps. Mothers must mind their baby's needs to be born gently and safely.
Babies speak to their mothers through emotions- through whispers of longing and desires.
And so often a mother will have a deathly, paralyzing fear of doctors and hospitals that will keep her up at night. But think of what the child has lost through a medicalized childbirth- privacy, dignity, peace, safety. We as a culture are reliant on self-help books and daytime talk shows to tell us who we are and what we need as as women. All of the material in this website is copyrighted.
