BIRTH TERMINOLOGY WORKBOOK
Unfortunately, due to the commidification, industrialization, and medicalization of childbirth in our modern day cultures, it has become necessary to be aware of the variety of methods that care providers use to pathologize the process. I believe most of your preparational focus should be on the natural, physiological process of birth when it is completely undisturbed-- but in order to fully understand the benefits of undisturbed birth, sometimes we must explore the risks of the allopathic model. This can help us unravel and unlearn the ritualistic practices and procedures of that model.
Our current culture commands the necessity of doing your own research, asking the right questions, and being very discerning-- all while balancing all of this with your own intuition and intrinsic connection to the natural world. This might not come easily or naturally to you. These are skills you may have to hone. My hope is that this workbook will help you engage these skills; that they will provide you with practice as well as a baseline knowledge of some of the common interventions that many women have pushed onto them throughout pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum.
