Stop Using the Word “Natural” to Describe Childbirth
Guest Article: Scary Mommy
Context
This piece is deeply personal. It was written in 2020 and reflects where I was in my learning journey at the time. Since then, my understanding of race, equity, and birth narratives has grown significantly through ongoing antiracism work and reflection.
My original title, Stop Using the Word Natural to Describe Childbirth, was edited by the publisher.
