Get inspired.
How do I get my Birth Partner/Support Person on board with the birth I want?
One of the most common questions I see in birthing groups online is:
“I’m really wanting a ____ birth but my partner/family member/other significant person isn’t supportive. How can I get them on board?”
This can be really disheartening and upsetting when you don’t have the support of the people around you.
Empowered Birth: Stepping into the driver’s seat
When it comes to the incredible journey of bringing new life into the world, there's a subtle shift in language that can have a profound impact on how we perceive our role. The word "delivered" has become synonymous with the arrival of babies, but think about it for a moment – does it truly capture the active, courageous, and awe-inspiring process that birth is?
We need to stop being “good girls”.
From the day we’re born we’re expected to be, taught to be, and conditioned to be “good girls” – to conform, obey and follow the rules without question.
Not too loud. Not too opinionated. Stay in line. Don’t rock the boat.
As children.
As teenagers.
As young adults.
We’re expected to adhere to these “rules”.
However, as we navigate the complexities of adulthood, it becomes evident that this approach doesn’t always serve our best interests.
“Trust your instincts”… but how?
From a young age, we (women and girls in particular) are often conditioned to defer to authority figures, and to disregard their own instincts. Society's gender norms and expectations have historically shaped this pattern, resulting in women doubting their intuition and ignoring their inner voice. However, it's crucial for them to learn to trust their instincts, as they are valuable sources of guidance, self-confidence, and personal empowerment.
What’s in a name?
Your body births.
This little phrase popped into my head… it spoke to my desire for us to believe in our body’s ability to birth… Outside of special circumstances, we don’t routinely expect the systems in our body to fail.
