Broke Girl in a Crunchy World
Broke Girl in a Crunchy World
First I would like to state that I am a blogging failure. I was magically inspired today by a wonderful women I was interviewing for (fingers crossed), the creator of Parentees, Dominique. I am currently a little over a month away from my due date in June. I am still on my life long quest to have a natural birth, and be the crunchy wonder women I have dreamed of. There is just one problem… being…

I've used and heard the phrases "I wasn't allowed" and "they let me" so much in birth stories. Isn't it time we tell them what they are or aren't allowed to do to our bodies? And have that decision respected instead of ridiculed?
I am left wondering why the physical and spiritual aspects of childbirth must be pitted against each other. Haven't we finally come far enough with the treatment of women to provide opportunities for childbirth that are at once safe, humane, and at least potentially empowering? I know in my gut... that this is possible, and I am determined to find access to it.
"Giving Birth" by Catherine Taylor
Jack was carried in by Pitch. "Help! My baby is being born! It hurts!"
Jackson looked up from what he was doing, seeing Pitch carrying his look alike he quickly jumped up. “follow me.” he said, leading them to a room. He had Pitch lay Jack on the bed, helping remove his pants and boxers. He laid a towel over his legs to help cover him a bit. He told Pitch to hold Jack’s hand so he could squeeze it to help take his mind off some of the pain.
30/06/2013 - Half way.
I am now half way to being a midwife! Semester 1, year 2 is complete (as long as my exam results are okay) and I am really on my way.
It's been a weird time for me actually, the demands of the course have really taken their toll on me physically and emotionally. I really have to remind myself that I am taking on a lot and that I'm not really as weak as I think I am all the time.
I should now be completely all on to of the normal birth - I don't know that I am. But I'm sure it'll come. I just keep pushing through and hoping the knowledge enters y mind because when I'm there supporting and reassuring these pregnant mothers as I feel their unborn babies move under my hands and as I give my strength and belief in normal birth to a labouring mother I need the knowledge and the truth to make her believe she can do it because she can. And I need the ability to unwind at the end of the day and just turn off and shed thier emotions so that I can relax, which is just impossible, but it's important.
So I hope that I will soon uncover the confidence that a midwife needs to be great. Til then, I'm working on it.
What is a "normal" birth? "Normal" birth - Your views GP's do not have any information on the range of treatments for couples. They see infertility as lifestyle choice and not an illness. It could be said that GP's are reflecting the views of the general population.
