Di bulan mulia ini, they did it (again? Better? Chill as bat****)
Being super thrilled for them, again, but birth version 2.0 came with the updates that was perfect.
You know sometimes I wish I could be recording the conversation that I have with my clients, in those private reflections and gossips there's so many truths and experiences coming out.
And I appreciate that they are so much aware about their body, their rights, their duty (especially gorilla), their ability, what kind of care they deserve - and not succumb to petty fear mongering tactics.
I mean when Drs talk to you in a degrading tone, "you could bleed to death, your baby could have complications", "you're the head of the family, you should protect your wife"... Like yeah, we get it, emergency is a potential, but just like driving a car, you can minimize emergencies by sheer using your adult brains, and these risk factors are blown out of proportion (that's what we call fear mongering)
The worst part? Your practices are outdated, yeah meaning they cause more emergencies and harm to mom and baby otherwise. So when parents come to you requesting for better care and treatment, you patronize them. Dey, Macha,....
Anyways, this time was perfect, this time she instructed herself to do things that she needed to prioritize instead of being overly excited. You gotta eat cause you're gonna pantang, and you gotta sleep cause you don't know how long this ride will be. But how nice for everything to fall in place, and be much faster...
P.s wherever you choose to birth, you deserve the support and respect. It won't always go as planned, but the point is about understanding the whole flow and options.
