Comments on: Ani DiFranco’s Home Birth http://radicaldoula.com/2008/04/17/ani-difrancos-home-birth/ Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:33:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Maggie http://radicaldoula.com/2008/04/17/ani-difrancos-home-birth/#comment-10074 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 05:34:51 +0000 http://radicaldoula.wordpress.com/?p=185#comment-10074 Love this! Just one comment, however, which is that birth doesn’t actually have to hurt. New concept to so many of us, especially when birth is portrayed like agony in the movies. There are lots of teachers talking about this and I encourage anyone/everyone to check it out. For example, Hypnobirthing (The Mongan Method), as well as Unassisted Childbirth by Laura Shanley, Supernatural Childbirth by Jackie Mize, and Childbirth Without Fear by Grantly Dick Read. Lots more! I just like that we’re having this conversation!

Check out my two blog entries about delivery choices and the birth itself – which turned out to be a wonderful, healthy home birth.

I just home birthed my daughter last Sunday, outside, in water. It was the most fantastic, wonderful, empowering experience ever…
My hands were the first to hold her. It was perfect.

The more I learn about home births and the history of the pathologizing and medicalizing (a word?) of childbirth the more I realize is that the tragedy isn’t just what so many women who don’t have a clue about it are missing, but that they have NO IDEA what they’re missing. (FWIW-Spoken as someone who has never , nor will ever, birth a baby.)
