Lovely videos on "Letting labour start on its own"

It is hard when your impatient and uncomfy to want to induce labour even if its trying things at home to get it started. After experiencing a Induced labour 1 wk early due to Pre-Eclampsia and then a spontanious labour 1wk over due i very much recommend letting it happen on its own if you can. i was very restricted, uncomfy and in alot more pain with my first labour then with my 2nd natural labour. My 2nd labour allowed me to move around when i wanted without taking monitors and drips with me and to get into positions that i was more comfy with.

Here is some videos of why a natural starting labour is worth the wait :)

Some Lovely Sayings

We have a secret in our culture, it’s not that birth is painful, it’s that women are strong.
Laura Stavoe Harm


The knowledge of how to give birth without outside interventions lies deep within each woman. Successful childbirth depends on an acceptance of the process.

Only with trust, faith, and support can the woman allow the birth experience to enlighten and empower her.
