When did the medical system become such a horror story? Sadly, I think it’s been that way forever.
Sometimes we think, at least it’s not “twilight births” or some other grotesque, outdated coercion. But there’s plenty to be horrified by still.
That’s why moms have to go in with strong voices, conviction, and a heck of a lot of support.
Medical coercion has become so normalized most people don’t even realize who’s really the authority in birth. Hint: it’s not the provider. They may be all things authority when we need them to be. But sitting on your hands is a talent most providers don’t possess.
Birth is the miracle of life. And it doesn’t always need to be intervened on.
Swipe through because these are some truly horrifying realities that are not remotely uncommon.
If one of these hit home, know this: it wasn’t you. It was the system.

Naming it takes its power. The more women know it’s not them, the less afraid they’ll be to use their voice.
