14 years ago this Viking Fairy Warrior was born into this world in the most tranquil and easy settings.
We were so lucky to get to have the birthing experience in Finland where hospital staff were super professional and gave me the space for using hypnobirthing.
Safi was born in total deep relaxation where I felt no pain or discomfort through out the whole birthing process from the start of the contractions till about 7 hours later when I breathed her out. It was wonderful.
And the truth is, that is exactly what birth is supposed to be like. It's not supposed to be laborious nor painful. It's a natural function that our bodies have been designed to go through.
Just like animals, they are totally calm and breath out their babies.
But, since the medical practice, doctors (read men) took over the birthing, named it labour and turned it into a medical condition and made women give birth lying on their backs, we have come to expect birthing to be painful and unnatural, something that needs to be medicated and done as an operation.
All that is a lie and another way men have taken over the control for something women intuitively were able to do.
The truth is, giving birth is not painful or difficult for women if only we were taught to understand the process and listen to our intuition and our bodies.
Whenever you exercise, your muscles don't hurt (normally) as you're doing it, they may however get sore next day. It's exactly the same with all the muscles involved in birthing, opening and pushing an squeezing the uterus are just doing the job they were designed to do. It's not painful at all for them to do their job, unless you have been programmed to believe all the lies about labour. These beliefs create fear around birthing, after all, who wouldn't be scared of something that is very painful and can last for hours if not days!
And fear is the biggest obstacle for being relaxed and allowing your body to do what it was designed to do. Fear creates tension and tension creates resistance and pain.
Luckily people are becoming more aware of alternatives like hypnobirthing.
You can have the most amazing pain-free birthing experience 💗
