Ep 24 Where does the fear start?

Empowered Birth, Love, and Life

Maybe you are over 35? Maybe you tested positive for GD? Maybe you had a C Section before? Maybe you tested positive for GBS? WHO CARES!!!! If you are a healthy well informed and empowered mama who takes good care of her body, you should not be treated any different than any other pregnant woman! I am beyond frustrated with the medical bullying and fear mongering that happens based upon the nonsense. I would LOVE to pick some midwives brains on this and truly find licensed practitioners who TRUST a mother and her baby. The unnecessary gaslighting needs to stop. If you are a midwife or practitioner who hears this and would like to discuss this topic with me, PLEASE reach out! I am someone who is always looking to educate myself further, but I think trying to "predict" things that are going to happen with a woman's body is not based upon science and trust. This is based upon unresolved fear and as a practitioner witnessing too many traumas yourself and not fully processing what truly happened and taking this into other births with you. Every body and baby are different and we should not strip a woman's autonomy (I use this word a lot in this episode) away based upon YOUR fears.
If there are signs of distress or an unhealthy lifestyle, this is when intervention is necessary. Until then, trust your body and trust your baby!
