An Amazing Birth Story

I was reading some birth stories today and I love what this lady says. She says it so perfectly that I decided to go ahead and post it.

"We are "taught" to fear birth, not embrace it. We are treated as if we are not "qualified" to understand the process or reason to give life which leaves us disoriented, depressed and detached. We are indoctrinated with myth instead of truth to support an insignificant and unneeded field of "medicine". To neonatal and infant surgeons, I tip my hat of respect to you; but to the many men and women OB's who "manage" normal pregnancies and meddle with a natural process turning it from peaceful to pathological for sake of experimentation, self importance or money; you are to me, a tool of ignorance that has injured many generations of innocence. For you I have pity.

If my story plays even a small part to change the evolution of though concerning birth in just one woman and help her "UN"learn the lies and deception that has forced many of us into unnecessary situations, procedures and in some cases statistics, and help her trust her body; then I would forever be grateful, humbled and satisfied. Our body was designed to give birth, and we should not tread lightly on the canvas of the one who created them. Let the truth be the healing balm to hurting wombs everywhere."
