Lost In Motherhood With Amy Lowney
36. Is Trusting Your Body in Birth Enough?
You’ve probably heard the phrase “just trust your body, because your body already knows how to give birth!”. As someone who is a true advocate for birth, postpartum, listening to your intuition, etc., I’ve totally said this before too.
But..is trusting your body in birth enough? Like..really enough? I’ve learned it’s not the most helpful thing to tell an expecting mother, because it’s not always that simple. If you’ve been told this and have struggled when hearing this phrase, I want to dig into this a bit more and shed some light on why it can be difficult to hear this in today’s episode.
Yes, I DO want you to be able to lean into and really trust your body in birth (and beyond), and I hope what I share with you today empowers you to do just that!
In this episode about trusting your body in birth, I cover:
- The beautiful, powerful work I get to do with mothers and babies in the postpartum period in my hands-on practice
- Why getting the birth you need (but maybe didn’t necessarily want), can help you and your baby receive the tender healing that is needed
- The importance of radical responsibility in our births and our lives
- How our nervous system can impact both our intuition and our instincts
- Learning to reconnect with and trust in our bodies again
- Practical tools that can help you go beyond just ‘trusting your body’ when you’re preparing for birth
