Meet Reson and Ngoto, two midwives who have dedicated their entire lives to births in the Masai Mara in Kenya. Ngoto believes she is around 100 years old and sees childbirth as one of the most important passages and experiences a woman can have.
In the heat of the debate in Sweden about home births, the right to choose how and where to give birth, and the right to have a midwife present, I find myself in a completely different world.
Chief Samson has gathered the two midwives from the region, and we sit in conversation about this ancient knowledge. This is a wisdom that views birth as a deep emotional and vital journey, not something dangerous or purely medical.
They can remember only one death and shake their heads when I ask if it’s common. The midwives say they know when a woman needs to move to the hospital, and it happens occasionally, but it’s not common.
To ensure the body and physiology work optimally, they follow thousands of years’ old wisdom passed down from midwife to midwife. They massage the woman with a special technique, feel how the baby is positioned, locate the placenta, and if it’s in the wrong position, they massage it into the optimal position. They stop eating protein after month seven and follow a special diet.
During the birth, Reson and Ngoto use herbs to ease the pain and If the birth takes too long. They know how to rotate the shoulders and the baby’s head if it’s not descending properly. They see no difference whether it’s twins or breech (which they rarely encounter), they say. Their husbands can help relieve pain through a gentle massage, which you can see in the video.
When they talk about birth, they constantly gesture a downward movement and how it “just happens” when and if the conditions are right. Everything that we, in the highly medicalized healthcare system in the West, are starting to forget. They do not see birth as “dangerous” — for them, it’s a natural and powerful process. They also understand that sometimes healthcare support or cesarean sections are necessary.
This fills me with awe, and I suddenly remember — birth is magical and powerful ❤️❤️❤️.

Möt Reson och Ngoto två barnmorskor som arbetat hela sina liv med födslar i Masai Mara i Kenya. Ngoto tror att hon är runt 100 år och ser på födandet som en av de viktigaste passager och upplevelser en kvinna kan ha. Mitt i den heta debatten i Sverige kring hemfödslar och rätten att välja hur och vart jag vill föda och rätten att ha en barnmorska med mig. Befinner jag i en helt annan värld, mitt i ett område med flera Masai byar där tiden stått still.
Hövdingen Samson har samlat områdets två barnmorskor och vi sitter och samtalar om denna uråldriga kunskap. En kunskap som ser på födandet som en djup känslomässig och viktig resa, och inte något livsfarligt eller medicinskt. De kan bara komma ihåg ett dödsfall och skakar båda på huvudet och när jag frågar om det inte är vanligt? Barnmorskorna berättar att de vet när en kvinna behöver förflyttas till sjukhus och det händer då och då. Men att det inte vanligt.
För att se till att kroppen och fysiologin fungerar optimalt följer de tusenårig kunskap som ärvts barnmorska efter barnmorska. De masserar den födande med en speciell massage, de känner hur bebisen ligger och vart moderkakan är, om moderkakan ligger fel masserar de den till rätt och optimal position. De slutar äta protein efter månad sju och äter en speciell kost.
Under födseln använder Reson och Ngoto örter för smärtan, om födseln tar för lång tid, de vet hur de roterar axlarna och huvudet om bebisen bjuder fel eller inte kommer ned. De ser ingen skillnad om det är tvillingfödslar eller säten som sällan händer dock säger de. Deras män från koma in och smärtlimdra med en stryknings massage som ni ser i en av videorna. När de pratar om födandet gestikulerar de konstant den där rörelsen nedåt och hur det ”bara sker” om och när förutsättningarna är rätt. Allt det vi i den medikaliserade sjukvård vi idag har i västvärlden håller på att tappa bort. De förstår inte alls inställningen att det är så ”farligt” att föda. Då det för dem inte är det. Det är en naturlig och kraftfull process och samtidigt ser de inget hot i att det ibland behövs sjukvård och kejsarsnitt. Jag blir så påfylld och minns plötsligt.. födandet är magiskt och kraftfullt ❤️❤️❤️

Birth By Heart Global

We work globally for confidence Birth By Heart Global consists of Susanna Heli who, together with method instructors, gives lectures and teaches parents and professionals internationally. Our vision is that every birthing woman and partner has a confident and more loving birth. The company is passionate about health in childbirth, or salutogenesis, which simply means “health”, and about building a society in which both the pregnant woman and the health care professional have full confidence in the body and the baby’s ability to give birth and be born. We want to strengthen parents’ confidence in their own ability to cope with the challenges of parenthood and of life, which leads to deeper connections and greater meaning and mental health. For the health care professional, we want to provide increased knowledge and confidence in offering support through our tools and models that focus on preventing a fear of childbirth, complications, and interventions, and thus to work in a long-term, sustainable manner towards better and less expensive care.

Our Values

Our goal is that giving birth should be a confident and empowering experience for all.

The method works in both the private sector and the public sector to ensure that support can be offered to all groups in society, regardless of financial circumstances or psychosocial health.

This method works to spread the message that we are meant to give birth with confidence. At the same time, we see all emotions as normal during childbirth, and the method focuses on managing all of these emotions. No emotion is wrong. Fear is also normal.

We believe in the body’s ability to give birth. The method focuses on how this ability can be protected and maximised.

The method is suitable for anyone who is going to give birth. Whatever the delivery method, whether vaginal delivery or caesarean section, during complications or in the case of other choices, such as anaesthesia or birth location. We, therefore, adopt no particular position regarding anaesthesia, delivery method or birth location and respect the fact that every birth is a unique, individual experience.

We do not adopt a position of for or against pain relief. The method relates to the actual coping and handling of birth. Research shows that it is the coping and handling of the labour, of the pain and of other challenges along the way that make up the most important component of the emotional experience. To manage emotions like stress, fear and anxiety, support and coping strategies are required. Analgesia can provide relief from pain and act as a complement to coping, but it cannot resolve these emotions alone.

The method focuses on the fact that coping and handling is key to an empowering and positive experience.

Our focus is the fact that all women who give birth, regardless of the mode of birth, birth location or other choices such as the use of pain relief still all need support, tools and strategies to deal with the challenges that may arise during childbirth.

The experience of every woman must be respected and never judged.
