If you can release your assumptions, the chances that you have a better birth experience are exponentially

higher. And I actually didn't realize this until several years into my birth work journey.

And what actually made me realize it was I was I was looking in home birth Facebook groups.

And there were several women who said, I just gave birth at home. Everything went

fine. I'm healthy. My baby's healthy. We didn't even have to transfer. But I'm traumatized by my

birth experience. And it just made me step back and think, well, you're fine. Your baby's fine.

You gave birth at home. Nothing went wrong, why are you traumatized?

And I went down into that rabbit hole.

experience in this life. The moment you think you could be pregnant, you're frantically
