6: Trusting Birth & Honoring the Innate Process While Respecting Potential Challenges

Have you ever heard people say to “trust birth” and that “your body was made to do this”? Did this rub you the wrong way? What about if someone said they didn’t trust birth, they respected it? Well, an OBGYN over on Instagram did say that, and it was the root of some heated discussion in the birth world. I’ve decided to do a podcast episode and blog on this very topic in response to her post.

If you’ve been wondering why the natural birth community seems so adamant that you can trust birth and why the traditional medical system is so adamant that you can’t, this episode is for you!

In this episode, we dive into the following:

• The comparison of birth to the ocean (per the controversial Instagram post).
• How trust in and respect for birth can coexist.
• A reminder that at our essence, humans are still animals.
• …and so much more!
