What is your birth philosophy?

It is my belief that women can do hard things, including that which leads to bringing a baby into the world. I believe women should be able to trust their body’s ability to birth their baby. Most births occur in a broken system that doesn’t necessarily support women who haven’t educated themselves. I believe that midwife-attended home births are just as safe, if not safer, than obstetrician-attended hospital births. Most labor interventions are given too often and without true necessity. We have stopped allowing a woman’s body to do what it was designed to do, leading many to feel as if they’re failures with broken bodies. I believe that cesareans do have their place and time, but not at the rates they’re performed. Doulas are an incredibly underused resource for labor and birth, as well. Immediate skin-to-skin is vital to creating the bond between mother and baby, and should be initiated straight out of the womb, barring medical complications. I do understand that these things occur and birth is not linear. However, we cannot deny all that comes with an untouched, physiological birth where a woman can safely birth her baby.
