Language during birth matters SO much more than people realize.
There’s a huge difference between someone saying “here’s what’s going on, here are your options, how are you feeling about this?” versus “we’re going to do this now.”
And obviously birth can change quickly sometimes and interventions absolutely have a time and place and I’m very grateful we have them when needed, but moms still deserve to feel like they are PART of the conversation while birth is unfolding instead of feeling like things are just happening TO them.
I think that’s why I care so much about education. Because understanding what’s happening changes the entire emotional experience for so many moms.
