You plan a wedding for months in advance, you might even of been saving for years, you think of every tiny detail, you invest in the very best people and their skills to suit your preference.
So why when it comes to pregnancy and birth do you not invest the same time and energy?
Birth is one of the biggest life transitions a family can experience so why would you not put the same effort than you would making your wedding day so special into bringing new life into the world.
I know everyone is different and has their own values on what is important to them. But I have seen first hand the benefits and value investing in pregnancy, birth and postpartum care has on families.
There is so much support out there..doulas, body workers, hypnobirthing, birthworker calls, postpartum care, pregnancy yoga and more..
I believe pregnancy and birth is taking care of your body and sometimes that looks like taking radical responsibility for your journey. ๐ฆ
Doulas are a beautiful support for your family. Seeing you, Hearing you, holding you all the way through the journey. Anything youโre unsure about your doula is there to support, sign post and help you remember your innate power whenever you forget.
Ideally it would be better if we invested in education before conception so we could enter pregnancy feeling well informed and empowered which would support us all to soften into the journey.
Normalise saving for Pregnancy, birth and postpartum support. Normalise investing in education over buying the new baby things, normalise opening up to recieve support, normalise educating yourself on pregnancy and birth before conception, normalise supporting the mothers in your life.
Itโs not โoutsourcingโ itโs called opening up to receiving support and actually itโs an empowering, comforting, healing, human thing to do.
Becauseโฆyou deserve it and are so WORTHY of it.
We were never meant to do it alone - it takes a Village โฅ๏ธ
