Women, stop apologising and take your birth back!

February 20, 2019 By Katrina Zaslavsky

Women, stop apologising and take your birth back!

Women of the world, STOP apologising!

I keep hearing tales (true ones unfortunately) of birthing women apologising for things that they shouldn’t….often the system that failed them that led to places where they didn’t expect….and then they blame themselves for something that was absolutely not their fault….

THIS is why we need to work on our own self-empowerment and it’s not just a pretty buzz word but something I absolutely stand by.

No wonder I have dedicated a whole chapter in my book to “Knowledge is Birth Power.” …and no wonder much of my coaching work is about awakening women to the power, the strength and the courage they already possess within them.

Why is this so important, you may ask? So we are not a victim and not a patient that hands ourselves over to a higher authority (even if we are choosing to give birth in a hospital) but instead, an empowered birthing woman taking ownership of our experience…..

Are you ready to take your birth back? Pssst…It was always yours.

PS. Not sorry, had to vent! (a sorry almost slipped out right then, see how conditioned we are? I caught it just in time and hope you will too!)

***Anyone else experienced/ seen this sort of thing? Drop me a note and let me know! x
