So last week my unpopular opinion episode “Birth is Beautiful” apparently ruffled some feathers. And because of that I’m not releasing a new episode this week, but encouraging you ALL to go over and listen with an open mind.
I received messages from both sides as I normally do with an either “thank you for standing up, I’ve felt attacked anytime I’ve tried to say I had a pleasant birth experience” OR “you're silencing my trauma! My birth plan wasn’t exactly as I had hoped and therefore I now have trauma and it’s people like you who trigger me”.
All I can say is, I know this is a BOLD statement digging myself even deeper, but I can typically call those women who come running to me with anger. They do the same with anything that I write. So it makes me wonder🤷🏻♀️Again, yes, birth trauma CAN happen, but it’s not common. And I would rather if you experienced it to share what you learned (which I do in the episode) rather than do it to drive fear in others.
This episode was supposed to be encouraging to first time mamas to shine a light on the beauty of birth and to encourage the women (so many have messaged me!!!!) who had positive experiences to not be silenced by the angry mob who are angry at everything.
Ok I said it🤣If birth was so bad we wouldn’t still be doing it today lol it’s not meant to feel good right? (although the other extreme will say it is, which that’s cool!), but that little human that you meet on the other side of the pain will ALWAYS be worth it🙏🏼
It is also a privilege to GET to give birth!!! There are thousands of women begging God right now to bring them a sweet child. So I will fight for this one and not be silenced……BIRTH IS BEAUTIFUL✨✨✨
No go and tune in to have a listen for yourself and share with a mama who needs some encouragement!!!
