BIRTH:

Becoming Mother /

Exploring Birth and Pregnancy 

 

 

When you close your eyes and envision motherhood you feel happy and excited. Sometimes fear and different thoughts come to you, but you know you're ready. 

 

You understand motherhood is a path that has been chosen for you, and embarking on this journey has been a part of your story for as long as you can remember.

 

Maybe this baby is a surprise, and everything that will happen next is seeming mysterious, you are preparing to shift into the unknown....  

 

Your heart is connected to this experience, and you're ready to dedicate your energy to create a beautiful and grounded foundation for yourself and your baby, but it's starting to feel more complicated.  

 

Ultimately, you want a healthy baby, but sometimes you wonder if it’s selfish to expect a beautiful birth, and to even begin planning all the tiny details that you feel are important.

 

Maybe you want to just go for it, and don’t want to over think things, so wonder what does matter when it comes to all this *stuff*.

 

You know things often change during birth and you hear stories of birth going wrong. When you listen, you can help but do so with a critical ear, out of love, and wonder how your pregnancy and birth will turn out?

 

Your intuition tells you to trust in your body, and in your baby, but somedays are harder than others. Doubt does creep in.

 

When you really think about it, navigating pregnancy and birthing is overwhelming. 

 

You consider the options for care and it still seems that something is missing. 

 

If you’re really being honest with yourself, You have allot to consider and some big choices to make. 

 

You want to start planning your birth from a place of excitement, love and trust!

 

You crave connection , you’re ready to plan your birth and begin to understand all of your options.

 

Your mind races with thoughts of the people you love giving birth, and all of the stories you’ve been told.  

 

It could be that the women in your family birthed their babies in the hospital, so that would be the choice for you as well, right?

 

You want what is most *safe* for you and your baby, and you know the hospital is where you'll feel most comfortable. 

 

Maybe you’ve been feeling more hesitant to birth there since the pandemic, and just need someone to process all of this with.

 

Or possibly you’ve been considering your birth for years and you’ve decided to have a home birth with a Midwife, and a Doula. You've always dreamt of a water birth, but what happens when you transfer?  

 

You could be getting prenatal care and don’t feel a connection to your birth support team. Or, where you live, it’s really hard to find women centered care. 

 

Maybe you've hear about Free Birth, and feel comfortable birthing with your family at home, but you're curious where to start. How can you be prepared?

 

You wish you had someone to discuss all of this with outside of your bubble. It’s times like these you wonder “where’s my village?” 

 

It feels like there is a void, you want women around you who understand birth, who authentically believe that women’s bodies work and aren’t broken. 

​

You envision women in your presence who trust in you, and can help guide you with wise women resources. You want a powerful birth, one in which you make the calls, and you feel supported and loved, no matter what.
