55: How to Have an Orgasmic/Ecstatic Birth
Can giving birth feel ecstatic? Oh yes! It can even feel orgasmic! And if this sounds too good to be true, this episode is for you! It all comes to rethinking our perceptions of birth and incorporating pleasure and relaxation into the birthing process, which can lead to a more positive and empowering experience of giving birth for many women. It is already known that the negative perception of birth and the commonly-held belief that childbirth is a painful and traumatic experience for all women is a result of over-medicalization and institutionalization of the birthing process. Many women are often left feeling isolated and traumatized after giving birth, with the medical establishment and system setting the tone for the entire birthing experience. The truth is that birth was not intended to be painful, but rather a natural, innate capacity of women that should be honored without intervention. In this episode, Erika introduces the concept of orgasmic or ecstatic birthing, which involves using pleasure, relaxation, and surrender as tools to facilitate a calm and positive birthing experience. Women are hungry for positive birth experiences and can use these tools to reduce stress, fear, distractions, and blockages that prevent them from experiencing a calm and ecstatic birth experience. It’s all about creating a different culture around birth that honors physiological birth, reduces the need for medical interventions, and ensures that women have a positive, empowering experience.
