alright yaal normally i stay in my own lane but i got so tired of seeing the same tiktok of a woman who’s epidural failed and she was forced to birth unmedicated and all the comments are like omg birth is horrifying and excruciating and all i can think is the poor pregnant first time moms constantly seeing that and thinking birth has to be terrible ! by no means am i saying it’s easy birth is intense ! but it can be calm and controlled with the right preparation. your body is made to do this and you CAN have a beautiful and positive birth experience . don’t let the media ruin your experience or idea of how birth should be

also adding another women’s traumatic birth doesnt have anything to do with your birth i’m not saying you can CONTROL your birth but you are in charge and you can absolutely have a good experience despite what people say . again i’m not saying nothing will go wrong i’m saying things don’t ALWAYS go wrong . regardless , birth is birth and you should be proud of yourself no matter what happens
