This women's experience is so so different to mine, I had full faith in my bodies ability to birth my babies and she had faith in the medical team. At the end of the day it should always be the mothers choice how and where she gives birth. But I worry so much about the wisdom that is not being shared. I worry how so many miss out on this natural empowering sacred act, because they believe the medical team knows best.
It really sadden me to hear that once her baby was born it had to spend the night away from her, s/he must have been so distressed. Imagine being in the womb for 9 months, content and safe and then being born in a straight environment and taken from the only person you know, this is so dramatic for the baby and their is so much research that shows how babies grow up with separation anxiety because of this. The baby has listened to it's mama's heartbeat all those months and that is what it needs ti hear upon entering earthside. I am sure she did not know this, but intuitively we do, we just need to know how to listen to ourselves.
There is so much knowledge and wisdom not being shared xxxxxx
