As a mother, I find home birth as such an incredibly powerful blessing. It exists as the original way mothers have given birth for centuries. In this century, I personally look up to the women that choose home birth as their way to bring life into this world.
When I was pregnant with my first child, homebirth, doulas, or even birth classes weren’t even on my radar. I wish someone had told me that it was an option. I wish that I had someone in my corner affirming the power within my body.
Please know that whether you choose a homebirth, an unmedicated hospital birth, a hospital birth with pain management, or a surgical birth for any reason, I believe in you! However you choose to birth, you are BRAVE. What is important is that you know you have a choice, you have the tools to make the choice, and that you are satisfied with the choice.
