My positive, magically beautiful birth story. A tale of surrender, controlling my breath, transcending inward & trusting in the divine wisdom of mother & baby, with the support of my husband.
I had fully accepted a medical induction by 41 weeks but my prayers were answered & I was blessed with a natural onset of labor & a labor/delivery I had prepped & hoped for. Months of hypnosis/meditations, acupuncture, chiropractic Webster technique, stretching, walking, learning more about the physiology of labor & leaning into my intuition.
Putting this experience into written words has helped me truly realize how lucky I am to have experienced this birth & how badass our bodies are. Pain is a perception & our minds & breath can help us through. I can say this after this birth, however I had a much different experience with my first, medically induced labor.
All in all, hoping this positive birth story resonates with some. I found it really encouraging and important to flood my brain with positive birth stories while pregnant since our minds are so incredibly powerful and influenced by what we see and hear. It doesn’t always have to be something that’s dreaded, and actually can be an amazing, transformational experience like it was for me 🤍🖤🤍
