Do we choose birth or does birth choose us?
The process of creating, growing and giving birth to a new human being is a minor miracle for everyone involved. As a private midwife I have had some amazing experiences with a wide range of birth choices and surprises over the years.
There are many ways of giving birth, some are chosen and some choose us. What is critical is that each woman feels she has played an active part in this process and that her views have been heard and respected. Then she will feel positive about her experience and will not suffer feelings of failure, disappointment or guilt.
