I believe birth is not a medical emergency, rather something women have been doing since the very beginning. I believe birth is sacred and transformative and that the mother is the only authority when it comes to her birth.
“Your body is not a badly designed machine. You are not a machine. The Creator is not a careless mechanic. Human female bodies have the same potential to give birth…even if it has not been your habit throughout your life so far, I recommend that you learn to think positively about your body”
