The Nature of Childbirth By LokisMama

The Nature of Childbirth
To those of us who wish to bring life into this world
Without the aid of modern man's so called 'marvels'
And return to the nature of childbirth

There are those who would call us mad,
Selfish
Or even criminal
For thinking and acting as we do
For craving control over our bodies
and our births
For having the courage and conviction
To fight aganist the medical machine
Aganist being
Tied down
and drugged up.
Aganist being
Silenced
and cut up.
To those of us who would keep our bodies whole
and our births sacred.

To those of us who want the power to choose
When, where, and how we birth our children
Without having to be threatened by interventions
Just because our baby looks a little big
Or we don't start pushing exactly on our due date

To those of us who want to feel
Empowered by our births
Not threatened by them
To those who want to experiance birth
Rather than just survive it
To those who know enough to know
That birth is not a medical emergency
We are a force of nature
The nature of Childbirth!
