As a Christian doula, I believe that all children are gifts from God. That our bodies are divinely designed to create, carry, birth, and nourish our babies. God didn’t make a mistake when He created women. He made us to be able to give birth. Before there were hospitals, doctors, policies, or interventions. We were intentionally crafted for this.
This statement doesn’t ignore that pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding don’t always go as planned. It doesn’t diminish the role of hospitals, doctors, and interventions. I am so grateful we have these things in place when emergencies do happen.
The point is that birth in and of itself is NOT an emergency. It is a beautiful, natural process. It is sacred. Holy. Set apart. Created for a divine purpose. When we take our hands off, we get a chance to see something truly beautiful.
When will we begin trusting again in the Creator? When will we give birth back to women?
When will women be allowed to birth… exactly the way they were designed to?
