Send us a text Cervical checks during labor, while commonly practiced, can often be detrimental to the natural birthing process. These checks involve manually assessing the dilation of the cervix to determine the progress of labor.

Send us a text Lately my 1 on 1 trauma birth story processing sessions have not been with hospital birth... but home birth or birth center births where the MIDWIFE was acting like and Obstetrician.

Send us a text "Why would you bring the trauma to the surface if someone remembers their birth without trauma?" My husband asked me this.

Send us a text Many of us are taught to think of birth being "finished" once the baby comes out.
