I started working as an L & D RN again, and I am so thankful that my and other facilities exist for mamas with high-risk conditions or for whom surgical birth via caesarean section is medically indicated (ex. placenta previa, placental abruption, previous uterine rupture, and other relatively rare complications of pregnancy). That said, for women with normal, healthy pregnancies, and the providers who care for them, I wish there was a greater awareness, knowledge, and experience of how women naturally birth their babies, and have for time immemorial. This video is a brilliant example of what normal birth looks like, and a possibility everyone should know exists.
