Childbirth: A Return to Perspective
Childbirth has reached a point where it is worth gently asking whether the way we talk about it truly helps—whether it is constructive, and whether it serves women and the continuation of humankind.
While risk exists and should never be ignored, the framing of childbirth as something primarily to be feared has shifted something fundamental.
Childbirth is normal. Not casual. Not effortless. But normal.
Every one of us entered the world through childbirth. Each of us was carried and delivered by a woman. The ability to give birth is a widely held human capacity—remarkable, powerful, and essential, yet never meant to be a performance or a flex.
When we speak about childbirth with clarity rather than hysteria, and with perspective rather than polarization, we make room for trust—between those giving birth and those entrusted with guiding them through it.
