We’re told that more intervention equals more safety.

1/3 of mothers have an induction.
1/3 of mothers have a cesarean.
2/3 of mothers have epidurals.

And yet…

Maternal morbidity is rising.

Postpartum hemorrhage is increasing.

Birth trauma is rampant.

NICU admissions are common.

And parents are reporting feeling harmed, dismissed, and violated.

You cannot hold both of these as true.

If intervention were truly the safest path, the outcomes would reflect that.

That’s the definition of cognitive dissonance:

Clinging to a belief despite mounting evidence that contradicts it…

And then defending that belief by doubling down on control instead of questioning the premise.

Ask yourself this:

What if risk is being created by the very systems designed to prevent it?

We’ve replaced individualized care and traditional wisdom with policies and algorithms.

And then we act surprised when outcomes deteriorate.

Medicine likes to call this “unintended consequences.”

But when the same patterns repeat decade after decade, at some point it’s no longer unintended.

It’s unexamined.

Real safety is found with personalization, informed consent, and evidence-based practices.

When we insist intervention is the answer before a problem exists, we aren’t practicing evidence-based medicine.

We’re practicing fear-based medicine.

Cesarean birth is birth.

It is your initiation into a new chapter in life.

Your journey into becoming a mother.

Birth unfolds differently for everyone—each paths holds its own wonders, challenges, and gems.

And all of it holds the potential to serve you in some way.

To support your inner growth.

To awaken a newfound relationship with your intuition.

To offer healing, empowerment, or lessons…

Every birth has meaning.

A cesarean is not the “easy way out.”

As we all know that cesareans are much harder to recover from, and carry increased risks for the mother.

But a cesarean can be ceremonial, celebratory, positive, and empowering.

It does not mean you or your body failed.

It simply means: that was the way you birthed this baby into the world 💖

This Friday I’m teaching a free live training on how to feel confident and prepared for birth. 🙌🏼

Comment BIRTH to join. 💖

Partners learn about options, positions, and comfort tools.

But what’s missing is deeper emotional preparation tools, support with intimacy, alignment, and nervous system capacity.

This is the foundation that supports couples growing closer together through birth.

It’s great to know what your options are, but if partner doesn’t have the nervous system capacity to advocate, it won’t matter.

It’s great to understand comfort tools, but if partner doesn’t feel comfortable in the presence of normal, biological labor they’ll struggle to help you feel comfortable.

I created a simple framework, The Peaceful Birth Method, that I’ll be teaching in my free live training ✨tomorrow✨

And if you can’t make it, don’t worry! I’ll share the video after.

🎉 Comment BIRTH to join my free academy, where the training will be held.

It’s impossible to accurately identify a suspected big baby at the end of pregnancy.

Ultrasound is only accurate about 50% of the time.

This is why ACOG doesn’t acknowledge a suspend big baby as medical indication for induction.

Half the time, we’ll be inducing parents with average sized babies.

Providers often use “the big baby card” to inspire fear, and scare parents into having the medically managed birth the provider wants.

Research has found that it is not your baby being that increases cesarean risk.

It’s your provider thinking your baby is big that increases cesarean risk.

If your provider has a big baby bias and suspects your baby is big…

Especially getting the non medically indicated 32 week growth ultrasound…

You may experience pressure to induce, a shorter trial of labor, and more symptoms of provider bias.

writes:

“I had to fight each day towards the end to continue waiting. It drove my doctor crazy but I refused to intervene as long as baby and I were looking good. I felt great and it made no sense to me to mess with nature. I’m so glad I didn’t allow them to rob me of such a beautiful experience and getting my dream birth. Also, this was the most amazing nurse and I pray I get to have her again for my future babies.”

There’s something I wish more pregnant families heard:

If you’re feeling scared about birth, it’s not because you’re “not trusting your body enough.”

Most of the time, it’s because no one ever actually showed you how birth works in a way that feels safe, evidence-based, and honors your unique values and preferences.

👉🏻 (I’ll share how to shift that in our free workshop next Friday. Drop the word BIRTH for the link)

You’re given 10–minute appointments, a generic hospital class, some scary stories, and then expected to walk into one of the most intense experiences of your life feeling “relaxed.”

That’s not a recipe for a peaceful birth.

That’s a recipe for anxiety.

Over the years, I’ve watched hundreds of parents wrestle with the same things:

👉🏻replaying horror stories they’ve heard
👉🏻worrying about tearing and unwanted interventions
👉🏻weeding through conflicting information
👉🏻feeling like they “should be more prepared by now”

The truth is that you already have everything you need inside to give birth.

But what can get in the way is fear, leading to tension in the body.

That’s exactly what next week’s free workshop is about.

In my Peaceful Birth workshop, I’ll show you:

🌿 the 5 places where preparation is needed, but often missed

🌿 how to tell which one is most important for you

🌿 what to focus on next so you’re not wasting energy in the wrong places

We’ve been taught to believe that birth is not safe unless it’s medically managed.

That the parent guiding the way and making their own choices is dangerous.

Because how could they possibly know better than someone with a medical degree?

But having a medical degree doesn’t make you an expert on that person. It makes you an expert in medicine.

Birth requires expertise from both sides.

You are the best expert in the room on your body and your baby.

Abandoning our intuition, our decision making responsibility, and having others to make choices for us does not lead to the best outcome.

Working in collaboration with your provider, and making your own informed choices in alignment with your values, will.

EDUCATE 👏 YOURSELF 👏 ON 👏 BIRTH

You do not need to ask anyone’s permission.

You have the right to decline unwanted interventions, and request wanted interventions at any point in labor.

The birth plan is not an illustration of exactly how things will go.

Instead, it creates an opportunity for you to express your preferences using language that keeps the power in your hands.

With some providers, the use of strong language and advocacy tools may not be necessary.

But if your provider has high intervention rates, or you don’t know them, having a birth plan and someone who can advocate for it is important.

Saying “I prefer” or “If that’s okay” leaves too much up to provider interpretation.

If want to make an informed, evidence-support choice, like declining routine cervical exams, IV fluids, or birthing on your back…

Instead of asking for what you want…

Tell them that is what you’ll be doing.

And if a medical need were to arise, then things may need to change.

👉🏻 I teach a free birth plan building workshop every other Monday inside The Peaceful Birth Academy.

What makes birth more painful than it has to be?

We’re told that birth is like a period cramp x 1,000. ❤️

That’s a terrifying thought! 😅

And perhaps for some, that’s what contractions feel like.

But labor offers a spectrum of sensation, always changing throughout the process.

If you go into birth looking for pain, expecting pain, being asked to rate our pain on a scale from 1-10…

You will find pain.

The truth is that birth sensations are unique to each person, and unpredictable.

So you don’t know what you’re going to experience.

But the way you perceive your contractions makes a huge difference in how they feel.

When we surrender, relax, and approach contractions from a positive mind frame, we create the opportunity for them to not be painful.

Maybe they’re intense.

Maybe there’s pressure, temperature changes…

Maybe you fell your heart opening, have a spiritual experience…

Or even have an or**sm 😱💖🎉

And sometimes, even with positivity and deep relaxation, birth is painful.

But if we go in expecting pain, we close ourselves off to the possibility of pleasure.

Entering birth prepared for pain, and open to the possibility of experiencing something different, is a better approach.

Great examples of partner support tools in labor.

Firm pressure, especially around the pelvis can relieve back discomfort.

The jiggle releases tension, allowing the pelvis to access more mobility as the baby comes through.

You can use these tools at the end of pregnancy, and during labor.
