A Vision of a Better Birth

Imagine. You breathe in deeply. You feel the strength of your womb. It is hugging
your womb baby, preparing the baby for life outside its beautiful cocoon. Candles
are lit. The light is dim. Music is playing softly somewhere in the background.
Someone pours warm water over your back relaxing your muscles. You are calm
and relaxed. You feel at peace. Fear has not entered your mind. With one more
breath, it is time. Your body pushes with a force all its own stronger than anything
you have ever felt your body do. You feel yourself stretch to accommodate your
baby’s beautiful head. In a slow savory moment, it is over. Your baby is brought
to your awaiting arms where there it will take its first breath. Your baby looks at
you in a quiet alertness with gorgeous big eyes, so trusting, and everything is
right in the world. The hard work you did was well worth it. You’ve never
accomplished something so magnificent before.

You look back and recall the events of your labor. You ate and drank freely. You
had no need for an IV. You moved around as you pleased and tried different
positions until you found one that really worked well. You had the support of
close labor companions that stayed with you for the duration. You never felt
alone. You never felt frightened. You had no need to accept pain medication.
There were no intrusions of any kind into your laboring world. Everyone there
was of your choosing. No vaginal exams needed to be performed. No monitors
were painfully strapped to your body. There were no emergencies, no hysteria,
no bright lights. Just calm. No one had to tell you how to push. No one screamed
“push push push”. No one counted to ten until you were blue in the face.

Slowly, you come back to reality to deliver the placenta. Simple, painless, easy.
No one had to tug on it. It just came when it was time. Your baby is still on your
chest, lavishing in your scent. There is no need for separation. It is time now to
cut the baby’s cord. Your baby has received its nourishing blood. As the cord is
cut, your baby is sustaining life on its own for the first time. This is done from
your loving arms. Your baby is breathing well and resting comfortably, content at
your breast. No one is poking at you or your baby. You are left in peace to rest
and bond. You have now experienced one of the best kept secrets of our time;
how to have a beautiful, empowering birth.

This birth experience can be your reality. It is absolutely possible. I hope you find
the strength and courage to make it happen.
