There is plenty of information out there about all things birth related, but yet there are still so many things that women are surprised by during their labors. You are not here for the ‘Big Picture;’ you want the gory details.

It seems that most mothers you talk to had some kind of complication arise during their labor.  But birth is the most natural thing the body can do, so then why has it become so complicated?  Educate yourself about true complications and things that may actually be normal - then you will feel more confident in the delivery room.

More than 1/3rd of unplanned c-sections that occur in the United States are due to women “Failing to Progress” during their labor.   This statistic is upsetting.  If mothers were properly educated on labor, birth, and their rights during the entire process, the statistic would be drastically lower. A failure to progress generally means a failure to wait, a failure to allow the woman’s body to work, and a failure to let a woman own her body.
