In this episode of the Birth Like a Mammal podcast, Lindsay discusses the responsibility of Mothers during birth, specifically focusing on the choice between home birth and hospital birth. She emphasizes that the debate between the two options is unnecessary and unproductive, as it ultimately comes down to personal responsibility and where the mother feels most comfortable placing that personal responsibility.
Lindsay shares her own experience of choosing home birth to maintain control and personal responsibility over her birth process. She highlights the importance of feeling safe and comfortable during birth and the lifelong impact of taking or handing over personal responsibility.
Key Takeaways:
1. The debate between home birth and hospital birth is ultimately about personal responsibility and where the Mother feels most comfortable.
2. Handing over personal responsibility during birth can lead to disempowerment and trauma, while maintaining personal responsibility can result in confidence and empowerment.
3. Birthing like a mammal means believing in your innate ability to give birth without outsourcing or doubting the process.
Quotes:
"Humans are mammals and we are designed to birth like mammals."
"The idea that we would debate that there's only one way or one place or one person to have there and only one way to do this is absurd."
"The power and confidence that comes from keeping your authority and autonomy during birth is lifelong."
