Birthing and parenting go hand in hand. Making room for a baby to enter the family space, can take the full 40 weeks, but the preparation of family is worth it. Talk to other children, even very young ones or much older ones, assuring them that you have enough love for all and that loves grows. You will not be taking love from them. You will be growing more love for all. Teach them to grow love in their hearts for the new family member before they arrive. Life lessons, we can always grow more love. It may take concentrated efforts, like growing a rose in a different soil, but it will grow if you cultivate a culture of love in your home and heart.

Remember that pregnancy is a state of health, in and of itself. As with anything human, there can be challenges or things outside of normal that need specialist care. However, the majority of healthy women all over the world are able to have a healthy mindset about their growing body and baby, as well as a healthy intervention-free delivery. Start your pregnancy with a healthy mind. Think positively about the process and trust your Maker.

Birth philosophy: Preventative.
Nutritional health, emotional health, physical health... take small steps forward progressively to achieve your goals. This is like parenting, it's the small things that add up over time.

The labor process must be viewed with expectation to stay in the process until the work has been completed, rest in the process mentally knowing that you can't think your way through, trust the process and the One who made your body, and even find enjoyment in the process..... all of this prior to the baby being born. However lengthy or short your labor process is, be in it and thrive in it knowing it is worth it and you will overcome.

Healthy action steps take work. One food good choice and one step on a walk and you are on your way to nutritional change and exercise. It is not possible to ever be perfect. However, we can make small choices that when combined have rewards of healthier children, pregnancy, marriage, and personal wellness. Give yourself credit for the small steps or drastic leaps that you can make into the path of health. It will make a difference!

Mother's! Your work is so important. Never minimize the work of raising up the next generation. The way in which you tough it out every day, climb mountains to help others, train your children, and give even your body as a womb home for a destined human being to live in..... it's worth it more than you realize. Good job!

Step into your destiny! Grab hold of the new day. Once your baby is here, shut the door on the things that war against you moving forward in victory and authority. You are more than able to do all things through Him who created you to be a mom. This realm goes from phase to phase. Recognize the new season you have entered and fully embrace the new hat you just proudly gained. Good job women!

For the joy set before you, you walk each day through pregnancy, you labor and labor, you toil, laugh, and cry... it is truly worth it. When you finally see that baby's face and have the sense of it was worth it. Worth the pains, worth the waiting, worth the anticipation. Whatever your journey has been, good job, you grew a perfectly beautiful human being! Good job!

All of the waiting, all of the rhythmic work of labor, all of the surrendering of fear and self doubt..... worth it, when you hold that small person finally here.

I recently told someone "make patience your favorate during labor or pre-labor. She said that sounds like poop...but okay, patience is my new favorite! Eventually the baby was born and the waiting paid off! She did the right thing instead of getting antsy and anxious, she surrendered to the process however long it may be. Sometimes it's hard to really appreciate the process and stay centered when we just want to be to the end. But to the winner, goes the crown, patience will pay off! 🙏✨️😊

Childbirth education is worth it. If you are interested in my one hour class on-line, it is on-sale for $40 for 30 days. Regardless of where you live or where you are birthing, learn the stages of labor well before you go in. Then you will not have fear, but instead will have understanding. You can do labor and delivery well and without fear. Encourage other women who are having babies to take a class or read a book on natural labor stages. Women, you were created to be able to bring forth life, you are amazing!

I attended a birth for a friend recently in the hospital. She said that knowing what her body was doing and that it was good was so helpful during labor!

PM me or email laurabirthlady@gmail.com to get a link for the class. Watch anytime with partner present. Have a beautiful birth!
