The earliest depictions of women (of every culture and race) giving birth depict them in upright positions, not lying down. Women began to lie down because they were, at some point, convinced that doing so supports their back, when in actual fact, it defies gravity and is dangerous for the mother and baby. The only persons that it helps are the helpers - the doctors and nurses - not the baby, and definitely not the mother. Lying down during childbirth was promoted for perversion and control. Babies could be killed or exchanged out of the mother’s view this way.

The ancestral Yorùbá women’s history in that regard is what I’m being asked to discuss next, and I will, as soon as I am calm and confident enough to tap into that energy.

I eventually had to be born through Caesarean Section after a long and distressing experience. My left cheek was slit during the CS moment too, so that was even more distressing because the scar is still there. Talking about easing childbirth will be a good thing for those unborn, and a healing experience for me.
