Is my body a LEMON?

Many women wonder if their body is capable of giving birth. Or are they a sour lemon that would need to be squeezed with birth intervention (such as pitocin, forecepts or c-section) to accomplish birthing their baby.

To answer this question I'm going to leave you with one of my favorite videos.  Ina May Gasksin is a world renowned midwife who has taught hundreds of thousands of other midwives and doulas alike.  Because of this passion for birth, she teaches on how to help moms (and their partners) understand the intricate design of the body during the birthing process and ultimately how to work with that design. I have personally learned much from Ina's teachings on this as well as how to work with my moms to protect the atmosphere they are giving birth in -- leaving it gentle, sweet and celebratory -- so they are able to create a unique experience for themselves but even more importantly, for their babies.
