You have a choice: This video is a synopsis of a typical birth by a registered nurse in a hospital in the USA, followed by individuals and couples sharing their birth experiences. During your birth you will be faced with many choices.  You can educate yourself so that you are the one in control, so that you can create a safe space, surrender to the process of birth and have an amazing experience…  Birth is not a medical procedure.  Your body is designed to birth your baby. You can choose to either be a passive patient handing control over to the hospital, or you can be actively in control of your own birth.
