Instinctual Birth

We know how to give birth instinctually. We are taught to fear birth, when in reality, the knowledge is encoded in our body's cellular memory. We instinctively know how to breathe... we instinctively know how to birth. Birth is a part of life, and the vast majority of births do not need to be jump-started, assisted or done for us. We owe it to our babies to give them the best start in life.

Written by an Oregan midwife who is passionate about unhindered, autonomous birth.

She is moving past her current ideas and beliefs about birth - and this blog is a reflection of that journey.
