Pregnancy & Childbirth

Share

Pregnancy and childbirth can be an amazing physical, emotional, and spiritual journey... but in the Western World, it is often experienced as a medical event, at best,  or a complication, at worst.  REAL Village hopes to change that!  Whether you choose to have a waterbirth at home or need to have a cesarean section in the hospital, pregnancy and childbirth are a sacred experience and should be honored as nothing less than that!

Explore this section with an open mind and spirit.  Images and videos will offer a glimpse of the sacredness of pregnancy and birth.  Articles will remind you of your options and of the socio-political implications of some of the choices we make.  Stories and blogs will touch your spirit and remind you both of what is possible and of the amazing strength and resilience of a pregnant and birthing woman (Yes, that includes YOU!).   Visit your local village to get the lowdown on the current birthing environment in your area and to hook up with other local pregnant mamas and papas.
