The Power of Words

"Whenever and however you give birth, your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body, and your spirit for the rest of your life" - Ina May Gaskin

If Ina May is right why aren't we more mindful of our words? 

Countless times I have heard birth workers, healthcare professionals, friends and family refer to operative birth as a "section" or "c-section". What people don't often recognize is words hold power. This isn't just semantics!

There are no do-overs regarding the birth of a baby and we need to be considerate. 

Words have the ability to encourage attachment or make people detach from their own story. 

When referring to any birth, vaginal or cesarean, please be mindful. Operative birth is still birth and deserves the same respect! 

Going forward please consider referring to a c-section as a cesarean birth.
