Birth is Womens Business

Men should stay out of it.

No Uterus No Opinion.

OBS should work only got midwives and partner WITH women. It should be no other way. Women can make decisions with both aspects being presented AS its needed. IF a dr has a low risk women she should be with a midwife..is a midwife has a high risk woman she should be seen collaboratively with an OB.


Im not sure why this isnt the way it is.

Overwhelmed

It just seems to get worse. How women are treated in this society. Being in the field of maternity care I see a lot of disresepct from outright lies, misinformation and verbal attacks and if a Dr brings in security guards to intimidate a women it is physical attacks in threat. Isnt this assault? Dont we arrest people who threaten people wit physical harm if they dont do as they are told? Isnt this Wrong on all levels? or are pregnant women and women in generally less deserving of being treated right.

I firmly believe its because we fight and promote womens rights-- when we promote rights like Animal rights, childrens rights, disabled people rights--they are a group who cannot speak for themselves or unable to explain their feelings or have different issues-- so if you put womens rights in that list-- we are not considered fully human otherwise we would not need womens rights. We would practice the same rights men have without pause or question. We would not have MEN giving US rights...because when we allow someone to give us something they can take it back ANYFUCKINGTIME!! The mental understanding is "Shut up bitch cause we will give you what we want to and it wont be free!!"

We are humans..we own our own bodies and we dont need fucking rights given to us by a woman hating culture and certainly not from fucking crazy religious nuts.

Those who cross my path

I meet a lot of people. Work. Play. and even minding my own business. Many different personalities and beliefs and goals and levels of getting along. I have learned on thing about relationships of any kind--to not hang on to them when its time to let go.
People come into my life for a many reasons-- but its always about me TO me. Yes, i may help someone or be there for someone or even cause change but ultimately for me it is about me.
Why has this person come into my life? Even for a brief moment, I know its about me and what I am suppose to take from this encounter. It could be as simple as I dont need this drama/person/energy in my life right now and can i walk away? to they have shown me a facet of life I did not know about to heart energizing I adore this person forever experiences. When i create boundaries of my own space I will always have those people who try to break those boundaries--am i allowing them to or can i say NO! As I set out my goals in life I will have those people who will try and distract or nay-say my desires--can i out up my hand and say NO! to them? I will have those come to me with love and encouragement and even a night of exquisite love--can i say YES! to them and just allow it to be THAT without demanding it to be more and more?
Looking at each person and what they have to offer me is vital in keeping ME from expecting too much or even blaming myself when I am feeling hurt or rejected or betrayed. Each person is a voice from the Divine/Me signaling me about my life and what I am suppose to be doing. Each person is a physical manifestation of the Divine/Me to guide me, remind me,get my attention and delight me with my own realizations.
