Be responsible for your birth-ing choices

Mothers and Fathers, be responsible and take back the responsibility for your own birthing experience (decisions). You are responsible for it as you are for your own health. By reading up, doing research, taking up childbirth classes, nobody is asking you to become a doctor. This is because everyone is intellectual enough to learn just enough to be responsible for their own body.

The Malays say, "Nak seribu daya, tak nak seribu dalih" which carries the meaning of saying, if you want something, you'll work out 1001 ways to get it, but if you don't want something, you'll make 1001 excuses!

I believe the mind is a great gift of great capacity; do not waste it by feeding it on junk food.

And this journey towards taking back the responsibility starts by being confident that pregnancy is not an illness or a disease, and, birthing is not an abnormality your body is incapable of performing; birthing is not a freak of nature.
