I didn’t realise the birth blog had been removed and re-posted, was it flagged or something??Okay off-topic, but there’s been something about Sarah’s birth that has been on my mind for a while.
After her birth vlog got taken down and then it was put back up, she went on stories and basically said something like, “My birth vlog is important to be up on YouTube not just for me, but for other women as well, to show the raw and real side of birth.” Now let me preface this by saying that I’m not a mother, nor I wish to have children anytime soon, but it was such an eye roll moment for me. Not trying to invalidate Sarah’s or any other mumma’s birthing experience, but there is so much content you could find on YouTube that show the dark sides of childbirth, educational or not, with a click of a finger, most of which barely compare to Sarah’s experience. If she thinks her birth was realistic enough to the point she believes such pretentious comments she made, then it makes me question the “research” she did prior to birth. I bet she only watched edited, cookie-cut, birth vlogs as her “research”, and thought some soothing music, salt lamp and coconut water will save her when contractions really start to kick in. I’m in no way trying to dismiss Sarah’s or any other mum’s traumatic experience regarding birth, but I think in Sarah’s case, a lot of it could’ve been easily prevented if she did proper research and listened to her doctors. Anyways, mumma’s on tattle, feel free chime in, and correct me if I’m wrong
In the run up to foxes birth I remember feeling shocked at them completely ignoring the drs advice about going into hospital for a c section/induction or something? And if I remember rightly there was talk of how her stomach hadn’t really grown, which meant the baby was small and they were both just like; wEll In cAvE mAn TImEs tHErE wErE nO hOSpiTaLs! Which just came across as deeply ignorant to me because it ignores the fact that not only do MANY people still die childbirth because they don’t have access to proper healthcare, but particularly before modern medicine it was extremely dangerous and killed many women and babies.
Sarahs approach to birth was, in my opinion, a what not to do; and just came across as her thinking she knows better than others.
A blazer, to a meeting? Groundbreaking
