If you watch a flower grow, you will get an inkling of the wonders of your pregnant body.
Just think about it- out of a seed, comes a stem, then a bud, which grows and swells …until it blooms, and then the seeds fall.
The same world that created that flower created you!

The gifts that a woman gains when she births her baby
naturally cannot be told. It is like touching something and
experiencing the feeling, "hot", or "falling in love," a person can’t
just tell someone what it is, we must experience these things for
ourselves for these words to have value. Women who choose to give
themselves over to be saved from birth are missing something
immeasurable, inexplicable and hugely important.

During birth, a woman has needs which are caused by her
biology. When these needs, such as privacy and security from
intrusion are met, the primitive brain will take over and her
physiology will orchestrate just what is needed to birth her baby.
Moving freely, vocalizing, and going deeply inward without fear
or self consciousness will allow her body to release the proper
concoction of hormones which will make birth what it was meant
to be; an event that is amazing, empowering and deeply intimate.

Deciding to have a natural birth is not just a romantic notion if a woman desires to be
whole after birth, and keep her baby with her. Achieving a natural birth is a good goal for woman
who want to be in the best physical shape to care for her child after the birth, and if she does not
want to expose herself or her baby to unnecessary risks during birth. If they knew the real risks, most
women would not choose to take especially choose to take drugs which have not been proven to
be safe for use during pregnancy and labor.
Most interventions go against medical evidence for those who desire easier, faster, more
gentle births for themselves and their baby. One intervention often leads to a cascade of
interventions, which lead to the need for pain medication, epidural relief, fetal distress, and even
cesarean section birth. When women make decisions out of fear and a through a habit of learned
compliance, she gives away her choice, she gives up on listening to her own inner guidance and she
gives away her power.

When a mother has privacy and warmth, quiet, darkness and a feeling of security, birth
becomes what it is meant to be: an intimate biological communication between mother
and her baby, wherein a cocktail of hormones is released and responded to. These
hormones, just like the ones which are released during the privacy of lovemaking and orgasm, will
orchestrate everything that is needed- right up to the ejection, of the baby. Simply put, being a
woman is enough, as is so beautifully illustrated here by KaRa Maria Ananda of Conscious Birth
Emissary.
Women who empower themselves for their births, become more confident mothers and report
greater satisfaction with the birth experience.

Most sadly, the decisions a woman makes can give away her
