I love Lamaze’s 5th Healthy Birth Practice: Avoid giving birth on your back and follow your body’s urges to push. Their video is great, but here is an example of what more likely happens in a hospital setting.

I am not referring to the birds and the bees, I am referring to my post yesterday about saving the bees from certain death. Sometimes I wonder if the information I share on my blog makes a difference. Is it worth the time I take? Am I helping moms empower themselves to enjoy their births?

My friend is scared of birth. She has birthed 2 babies, but she hyperventilates at baby showers when people share their birth stories. She just can’t bear to think about it at all. If she was ever to get pregnant again, I would highly suggest she use Hypnobabies. Maybe not to prepare for an un-medicated

I am interested in how fear effects birth. I see it during birth but I see more of it as moms are preparing for birth (or avoiding preparing for birth). We often learn to fear birth from society. Karl Menninger has said, ”Fears are educated into us and can, if we wish, be educated out.”
