Natural Childbirth. Wrote a book about it. Want to read it? Here it goes.
This is a place where great ideas can hang out, and do whatever! 
We speak frankly and may be offensive to some viewers. Use discretion.
I write about all kind of issues pertaining to birth. After having experienced a hospital birth, a midwife birth, and an unassisted home water birth, I have some strong opinions on birth in our culture, the systems in place, and what you can do about it to take birth back.
I strive to help women prevent or heal from trauma in childbirth AND have the healthiest outcome for baby, because I believe those two are not mutually exclusive and in fact are symbiotic (so to speak).
If you believe that what you are being told about medicalized birth is mostly hype, stay and play and learn and navigate this thing called natural childbirth.
What we are doing is not a trend, not a movement.. it’s a revolution.
Your job is not to save society, but to save yourself. The ripple effect causes you to improve society, and that’s just a bonus.
Thankyou so much for sharing on your fabulous site.
I too received the photo of the Himba woman and child on my facebook page and wondered (not with scepticism, because I understand that not every society has lost the plot around birthing), and here you have searched back. Those are the kinds of stories we need so that we know what is possible, and maybe then we can ‘feel’ our way back to something that serves babies, mothers and families better than what the medical model is serving to us.
sincerely,
