If a provider makes a big deal out of you wanting to swab yourself, that is a red flag about how they view your authority over your own body.

You are a grown woman, and you are perfectly capable of swabbing your own body.

If it feels easier for someone else to swap you, is that okay? Absolutely!

But you have the right to have privacy and autonomy around this test.

If you aren't sure if your provider is a good fit for you in your initial appointment, ask them if they'll let you self-swab for the GBS test.

Their reaction will tell you a lot about how they view and honor your bodily autonomy.

With each intervention, there is always the possibility that a second intervention will be needed to manage the side effects of the first.

This is known as the cascade of interventions.

This does not always happen.

But it can happen.

So if it does, it's important that you fully understand the risks and the benefits to each intervention that you choose.

And you make those choices deliberately, rather than following along a routine, non-evidence-based policy.

Every intervention should have a clear indication.

And alternatives should always be presented so the parent can make an informed choice with informed consent intact.

You have the human right to eat and drink during labor.

Restricting healthy low-risk women to eating ice chips only during labor is a violation of that right.

In the 1940s, a policy was created when general anesthesia was the standard for a cesarean birth.

But today the vast majority of cesareans are performed under regional anesthesia, where the risk for aspiration is much lower.

Major medical organizations acknowledge that eating light foods and drinking clear fluids is safe for low-risk patients.

This acknowledges that restricting food and drink during labor comes with risks.

These include decreasing uterine efficiency, an increased likelihood of maternal exhaustion, and an increased likelihood for the baby to have low blood sugar after birth.

Coping with labor is much simpler than you think.

It's just about finding your rhythm, repeating that rhythm, and relaxing in between contractions.

If you reach a point where you feel like you can't do it anymore, first try changing your rhythm.

If the rhythm that works for you suddenly isn't working anymore, that doesn't mean you can't do it.

It means your labor is progressing, your sensations are changing, and you need to find a new rhythm.

This is a beautiful illustration of how midwives are trained to support normal birth.

They look for things obstetricians don’t look for.

They have the skills to support normal birth that obstetricians don’t have.

If she was in the hospital, would she be labeled as “failure to progress” and received a cesarean?

Would the nurses or providers have looked for scar tissue and worked to relieve it to support dilation?

Midwives and obstetricians operate completely differently during birth because of their training, philosophy, and approach.

Midwives support normal physiology while obstetricians look for problems to address.

Preparing for birth is less about learning and more about unlearning.

How has your need for control served you in the past, and how can you work to let that go?

What are the fears that hold you back from surrendering?

What are your nervous system patterns, and how can we rewire them to support safety?

Fear, tension, and nervous system activation directly block labor from progressing.

So rather than spending all of your resources on fancy labor coping tools and self-paced virtual classes, invest in preparing your body, nervous system and mind.

The medicalization of birth in the United States is not an accident.

It is the direct result of a system built on control.

The American medical system was constructed under a specific patriarchal framework.

When this country was founded, a strict social order was established.

Men held the political and legal power. Women were viewed as tools to reproduce that power through children.

This foundational belief dictated exactly how the medical complex decided to manage birth.

For centuries, birth belonged to women. Granny midwives successfully supported mothers through labor, relying on physiological wisdom and community care.

Then the medical establishment intervened.

Early obstetrics was built through horrific experimentation on the bodies of enslaved women.

Male doctors sought to remove midwives from the process entirely.

They did this not because midwives were failing, but because the medical establishment demanded absolute authority over birth.

When this shift happened and midwives were aggressively pushed out, maternal and infant mortality rates spiked immediately.

The system did not course correct. They doubled down.

Today, the United States operates under this exact legacy. We experience massive rates of unnecessary interventions and face a severe maternal mortality crisis.

Understanding this history is how you step outside of it.

Perineal massage is one of my favorite ways to support moms in feeling safe in the presence of pressure.

Some people approach perineal massage in a way that is forceful. We have to stretch as far as we can, and it should be painful.

But I believe it should be the opposite.

Pushing yourself through uncomfortable perineal massage, or even cervical exams in pregnancy, can feel disempowering and create negative associations.

Instead, practice gentle perineal massage.

Approach it with patience, curiosity, and self love.

Make it sexy and incorporate pleasure.

Feel the sensation of pressure, and practice putting your attention on that feeling.

Relax into it.
