Primal Roar - Birthing with Instinct

Whoop whoop.. Beer + Bubs Perth has a second home!! Out first Freo session will be held on Wednesday the 31st of August at Funkee Monkee Freo…

When we hear that “the hospital system is broken”, we really need to be looking at what a hospital is… it is a business. Anytime someone profits from your health, you should be questioning the motives. The hospital system isn’t broken, it is functioning exactly as it was designed to… it is a business, making money 😢

This is a huge issue within the hospital system. Informed consent for any medical procedure involves the unbiased giving of the risks and benefits that can occur with the particular intervention being recommended. A sentence that starts with “I’m just going to….” Is not asking for consent.

Women are very capable of making decisions about their body, their birth and their baby. How about we stop with the ridiculous notion that “consent doesn’t exist in childbirth” (believe me, this is a thing).

Men, this is the perfect time for you to advocate for your woman and baby. The BRAIN acronym is a great tool to use when making a decisions.

It is birth trauma awareness week and for those that know me you will know that this is where my passion and energy are directed. 1 in 3 women will experience birth trauma... That is ONE IN THREE.... how are people not infuriated by this??

It is not acceptable that after child birth a woman is told "Well at least you and your baby are alive". This statement is endemic of the western medical system; it is tunnel vision at it's finest in a health system that is based on a business model.

Women cannot mother, partner or exist to their full potential when they come away from child birth traumatised. Child birth is the right of passage from maiden to mother, history shows us the importance of this transition. Women become powerful, they learn the wisdom of their instinct and they learn to ROAR during this transition.

To imply that just being alive is all there is too it... augh, it is unacceptable. To all of the beautiful women out there who have experienced birth trauma, you are not alone, you are not forgotten and you are not broken.

1 in 3 Australian women experience birth trauma. 1 in 3!!
Birth trauma not on effects the woman but the family unit and society as a whole. Women should not come away from their birth experience physically and emotionally traumatised.
The sacred journey of birth must be reclaimed as the important rite of passage that it is, and women need to allow themselves the gift of reconnecting to their instincts and power.

Statistics are thrown around antenatally like confetti and women's instincts are constantly being undermined by making women feel like they are putting their babies at risk because they "don't comply". It is important for women to know that routine screening tests can be the beginning of the cascade of intervention. Before you say yes to these tests, you need to ask yourself if you are ready for the trajectory that the results can send your pregnancy and birth hurtling towards.
