The Perfect Birth

What does perfect birthing mean to you? 

 



Each Mother is unique, every birth is unique so it is impossible to generalise about the perfect birth. For some it may be a natural birth, a medicated birth, a water birth, a hospital birth, an active birth, a caesarean birth or a home birth.

A perfect birth would be one where the Mother-to-be has a choice. From the first choices she makes about how…where… and when… she is going to birth her baby - through to point that she is left to get on with motherhood.

Imagine a birth where you truly feel in control. You are confident enough to question the decisions of your midwife. You feel empowered to bring your baby into the world in your way. You remain calm throughout labour regardless of whether the reality of birth meets your expectations.

The phrase ‘knowledge is power’ springs to mind. For those women who want to take control of their own birth experience; knowing about how the birthing body works and the birth process will contribute towards a positive experience. 

A perfect birth would be cherished and remembered with warmth and pride. Birth is one of life’s greatest gifts and for many women one of the most amazing moments of their life. A birth where Mum would look back and say she would do it all again tomorrow.

Demystifying Home Birth

Beautiful Home Birth Photography


Julia Marincat shares her beautiful home birth photographs, shot by Jackie Dives. Jackie is a doula & photographer keen to normalise birth and out the dread which many pregnant women face.




 "The average woman is unaware of these choices, because they simply aren't shared in the mainstream. I hope my images will open doors for women who otherwise might not have known what their options are."
