Module Introduction: Reclaiming Birth Keeping - Healing Birth Trauma

Welcome to this introductory course on Birth Keeping, where we embark on a transformative journey toward understanding and healing childbirth trauma. In this module, we will explore a profound and pressing issue: how childbirth trauma has sadly become common but is far from normal.

Childbirth Trauma: A Silent Epidemic

Childbirth is a profound, life-altering event that should ideally be a source of empowerment, joy, and profound connection. However, we find ourselves in a society where childbirth trauma has become prevalent, silently affecting countless women. It's crucial to acknowledge that this is not the way it should be.

Desensitisation and the "Good Girl" Narrative

One of the unsettling aspects of this modern reality is how many women have been desensitised to their own traumatic experiences. The cultural narrative of being the "good girl" has compelled them to suppress their voices, to remain silent about their pain, and to accept mistreatment as the norm. We have been conditioned to believe that enduring silently is virtuous.

The Deep Mother Wound

Linked intimately with this silence is the concept of the "Mother Wound." As women, we often carry generational wounds, a legacy of unspoken pain, and silent suffering. This wound runs deep and wide, affecting our perceptions of self-worth, empowerment, and our very ability to reclaim our birthing experiences.

Empowering Change Through Authenticity

But here's the truth: childbirth trauma should never be normal. We have the power to change this narrative, to heal the wounds, and to reclaim the sacredness of childbirth. It begins with stepping into our authentic selves, finding our voices, and refusing to accept mistreatment any longer.

Ending the Cycle of Sabotage

By taking this course, you are embarking on the first step on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Together, we will explore the roots of childbirth trauma, unravel the threads of desensitisation, and seek healing for the deep mother wound. As we move forward, we will learn how to no longer accept mistreatment and how to reclaim our birth experiences for ourselves and generations to come.

The Hidden Risks of Induction

Lack of Informed Consent

Induction is a common practice in modern childbirth, but the risks associated with it are seldom fully disclosed to expectant mothers. In this section, we'll explore how many women are inadequately informed about the potential dangers of induction, leaving them unaware of the decisions they are making about their birthing experience.

Unnecessary Inductions

A significant portion of inductions may be unnecessary, driven by a combination of factors. We'll delve into how the lack of education about common pregnancy ailments and the over-medicalisation of birth can contribute to the widespread use of induction. By understanding these factors, we can work toward more informed and empowered choices during childbirth.

The Elusive Nature of Physiological Birth Data

Hospital Data Limitations

Physiological birth is a natural process, yet much of what we know about it is derived from hospital data. We will explore why this limitation exists and how it impacts our understanding of the birthing process. Recognising these limitations is crucial for making informed decisions about childbirth.

The Dangers of Ultrasound 'Big Baby' Predictions

The Problem with 'Big Baby' Predictions

Ultrasound measurements are commonly used to estimate the size of a baby during pregnancy. However, these predictions come with their own set of problems, including a margin of error that can lead to misguided decisions. We'll discuss the implications of relying on these predictions and the potential harm it can cause.

By the end of this module, you'll have a deeper understanding of the challenges associated with induction, the limitations of hospital data, and the pitfalls of relying solely on ultrasound predictions. Armed with this knowledge, you'll be better equipped to support birthing individuals in making informed choices and advocating for physiological birth whenever possible.

Awakening to Our Authentic Selves

We invite you to watch the video below as it beautifully captures a profound awakening that women across the globe are experiencing. This awakening is a testament to our innate power and authenticity, and it holds the key to healing the deep-seated trauma that has been passed down through generations.

Embracing the Great Remembering

In our collective journey, we are embarking on a "Great Remembering." It is an awakening to our true nature, a realisation of who we genuinely are beneath the layers of conditioning and societal expectations. To heal, we must first remember and acknowledge the wounds we carry within us.

Birth Keeping and the Intuitive Process

In the realm of birth keeping, this deep intuitive process of remembering who we are is paramount. It is a journey of shedding the layers of trauma and pain that have accumulated over generations. To birth keep authentically, we must first transform into our divine feminine nature, embracing it with a love that transcends mere emotion.

The Power of Love as a State of Being

This love is not just an emotion but a profound state of being. It is a force that holds the potential to reshape our world. If we aspire to change the world, we must begin with ourselves. What we witness in the external world is a direct reflection of our internal state. By embracing love as a transformative force, we can manifest a more harmonious and balanced reality both within and around us.

As you watch the video, let it serve as a reminder of the awakening within you, the healing power of remembering, and the transformative potential of love as a state of being. May this journey of self-discovery and healing empower you to become an agent of positive change, not only for yourself but for the world at large.
