Welcome! This is entry #1, in what I hope to be many more entries. It is the intent of this blog to assist readers in expanding their knowledge of normal childbirth, and prepare mothers and their partners who desire a normal birth.
Childbirth, like anything else, is subject to trends and popular belief. Sometimes "popular belief" is based on flawed science and fear. Maybe it's growing out of the "Green" movement, but there does seem to be a shift amongst mothers to have a normal birth. To listen to the ancient wisdom we as women possess, and with the correct support and preparation, have our babies in the setting of our choosing.
This isn't always easy. It definitely goes against the medical establishment. It goes against the media. It goes against the good intentions of friends and family who think you have lost your mind when you talk about your desire for natural childbirth.
Natural childbirth is normal. As I come across news and information that is evidence-based and helpful I will be posting.
