Take Full Responsibility for Your Childbirth

Often in childbirth we are advised to rely on someone else for the delivery. Many avoid the thought of childbirth, because they suppose that their responsibility is only to select the hospital or obstetrician.

In fact the responsibility for childbirth belongs to the mother. The mother is the one who bears the consequences. When it is not clear who is responsible, then in effect no one is responsible, and complications can happen.

When everyone assumes that childbirth is someone else’s responsibility, it might turn into disaster. On the other hand, when everyone assumes full responsibility, the result is the most successful childbirth.

Responsibility creates the possibility for easy and empowering childbirth. Though others may also be responsible, that’s no reason to reduce your own level of responsibility. When everyone makes the commitment to be fully present, giving, open and responsible, a truly wonderful birth can happen.

The most effective powerful kind of responsibility is full responsibility.

When you assume this kind of responsibility, you can experience the power of the natural flow of birth; you will be able to go through challenges and will be much more resilient. Whatever the particular situation, choose to take full responsibility for giving birth and you will experience the female power of creation.
