Hi Everyone,
First of all, just a reminder that Kerry and Carole are speaking at the “Uniting for the Future of Birth” Mega Conference in Milwaukee in early October! http://www.futureofbirthconference.org/
Our session is called, The Transformative Language of Birth and will allow us to teach birth professionals how to alter their thinking and use positive wording which can positively affect birth outcomes. Please post and e-mail this to EVERYONE!
Since our session at the Mega Conference is all about helping birth professionals learn positive language that is extremely helpful to all pregnant and birthing moms, we would like to ask for everyone’s input! This includes moms and birth care professionals.
Please call our toll-free hotline at 800-350-2204 and complete any or all of the following:
“When I was pregnant my (caregiver) said ………to me and then I felt……..about childbirth”. (Doulas, doctors, midwives, nurses; any caregiver)
“My birth was awesome (or whatever adjective you’d like to use) because my (caregiver) said…….”
“My birth was going very well (or however you’d like to describe it) until my (caregiver said …….”
If you are a birth professional, you can complete the following:
“I attended a birth where a (medical caregiver) said……..to the birthing mom and it changed……..in her birth experience (explain what happened, positive or negative).
Please forward this to anyone who would like t be part of the process of changing birth language. Thanks so much for helping us educate birth care professionals how to become more positive and effective!

Well not to share anything about myself, but the words really have gotta healing touch that can transform one’s painful birthing experience to a nice one.
During my clinical experiences in the labor room, I have seen the effects of the polite words and the words of motivation which i generally use for the woman in labor saying, “you are really nice in your efforts(bearing down efforts), You are awesome, you can surely do great for your baby.” and the like.
Great are the effects of such words, I tell you. Words can comfort the woman in labor and may at times be an important factor in labor progress.
I love it when birth workers understand the importance of their words during birth! Great job! All your positive comments help those birthing moms.
