I wanted to share with you my thoughts on birth....put perfectly by Penny Simkin, Doula, Author...
‘The childbirth experience lives on in new mother’s thoughts and emotions as she integrates her prior expectations with the realities. She needs to make sense of her childbirth by reconstructing it and putting into word what happened to her and how she felt.’ Penny Simkin
Since my own first birth now almost 4 years ago, I have a big place in my heart for all the women and men who have experienced the birthing of their baby that may not have rolled out the way they had planned. What a shock!
I feel for them for them they have probably never truly been able to shake the experience, make peace with it or at least been acknowledged of the trauma and triumph they experienced!
Because of this I developed a book and program to help women prepare emotionally for birth and recover emotionally from birth, something that other antenatal classes don't cover.
I believe a woman at the very least needs to be given the opportunity to debrief after her birth, to an unbiased and uninterrupting person and be given the verbal acknowledgement and validation they deserve. There is a lot more to it then this, but it's a good start and what's more important then giving a mother and her new baby a good start?
Need someone to debrief with and find some peace and joy in your experience, contact me I can help you.
