“But my baby was breech…”
🫃 Okay… and did your doctor take the time to learn about spontaneous physiological/ vaginal breech birth?
Did they invest in continuing education like Breech Without Borders, or push for policy change so families could have real options?
Because let’s be honest — with all the incredible evidence and training available, there’s no excuse not to learn how to safely support breech births.


“But I had hypertension, I needed to be induced.”
🫄 Maybe… but did your provider look deeper?
Did they rule out white-coat hypertension? Ask about your stress levels, diet, hydration, or sleep?
Did they let you sit quietly for 10 minutes before rechecking your BP — maybe even more than once?
Allow you to rest between readings?

"But I had anemia! My baby won't have enough iron"

OKAY.... but did your doctor tell you blood volume increases by 50% during pregnancy to nourish baby. Plasma levels rise first, and red blood cells increase second. THEREFORE levels will look very low if this is taken when the plasma is increased and the RBC's aren't yet. Is it iron deficiency anemia? Or physiologic anemia of pregnancy... 🧐

“But my baby had the cord around their neck!”
🤰 Okay… but did they explain that the umbilical cord is protected by Wharton’s Jelly — a squishy, cushiony substance that prevents compression?
Even true knots can slip up and down that cord!
Nuchal cords are actually super common — and rarely a reason to panic.

“But I went past 40 weeks…”
⏳ Okay… and did your doctor talk to you about how normal it is for healthy pregnancies to go to 41+ weeks?
Did they explain that due dates are estimates — not expiration dates? Which method of calculation did they use for your due date and did they take cycle length into consideration?......Or were you just booked for an induction without a real conversation about your options?

“But my baby was ‘too big’ for vaginal birth.”
👶 Okay… and who told you that — the ultrasound tech? A doctor? A clown?
Because estimates can be off by a whole pound or more!
Did anyone talk to you about different birthing positions, movement, or physiological pushing that help big babies fit beautifully through the pelvis?

Babies aren’t too big — sometimes, the system is too small.

“But they said my pelvis was too small.”
🦴 Okay… but did they actually check?
Did they consider that lying flat on your back narrows the pelvis — while upright, forward, and open positions expand it? Did you get taught that lithomy position (that flat on your back foot in the saddle, actually *closes* the pelvis by 30%?)

Your body was built for birth- It’s time medicine caught up with you.

✨ Midwifery care/ Doula care is about informed choice, physiological birth, and seeing you as an individual — not a liability.
Education, patience, and trust in the process can change outcomes. ✨

Midwives take the time to explain, to support, and to offer real choices — because you deserve to be part of your own care plan.
