ABOUT US

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We envision birth as a natural process, one which requires great inner strength and surrender, yet needs minimal outside assistance. A woman’s body is wonderfully made to develop and bring forth new life.
We hold the standard of natural birth (vaginal, unmedicated labor and delivery) as most desirable for mothers and babies. We recognize that for some women, due to unchosen circumstances, unmedicated birth is not preferable. We support each woman in choosing the birth which is safe and comfortable for her unique situation. Therefore, we do not claim superiority over women for whom surgical birth is a must.
Each child’s birth is embedded in a mother’s memory. It deserves to be a treasured moment, marked by intimacy and sacredness, that is joyfully shared. Too often it is a grievous story, involving fear and manipulation, that is told with lament.
We encourage families to take responsibility for their birth experiences. Ask question. Make informed choices. Anticipate a wonderful birth! Then share these experiences with other group members at the next monthly Natural Birth Meetup!

OUR HISTORY

The LNB was founded by Myriah, in the spring of 2006. After giving birth to her fourth child at home with only the assistance of her husband, she wanted to give women in our area a place to access local resources and find support. The group has grown in the last five years and has reached across the entire state of Louisiana. You can read more about our group’s history on the LNB meetup site.
