Episode 183 - Safety
SAFETY: What Does Safety Actually Feel Like?
What do we really mean when we talk about safety in birth?
In this episode, I introduce the first word in the SPACE Framework™: Safety.
When we talk about safe birth, we often think about physical or clinical safety, and of course, the wellbeing of both mother and baby matters enormously. But safety is not only about clinical observations, equipment or the ability to respond if something changes.
A woman is also experiencing birth through her nervous system.
She is constantly responding to the people around her, the information she receives, the way she is spoken to and whether she feels able to relax, ask questions and let go.
The question I leave you with this week is:
What will I need to feel safe enough to let go?
