Birthing From Within
What a great visual!
Being okay with discomfort is something we often explore in Birthing From Within classes.
It's likely that birth and parenting will bring many moments, if not hours, days and weeks of discomfort at different times.
Understanding your own responses and having more awareness of this, as well as finding ways to move through this can be very helpful.

So true ❤️
There are so many kinds of opening that happens to give birth to a baby. Opening the heart to the greatest love you may have ever known, opening the mind to all of the possibilities, opening to self compassion, opening to flexibility, deep trust and courage.

"And perhaps there is another ingredient in these stews which helps new mothers to recuperate: community. 'The whole village would be there and people would be cooking and taking care of your baby,' says Wong of the postpartum practices in pre-industrial China. 'The mothers were really pampered.'"
I can't wait to read the book discussed in this article, Mothers to Mothers: A Collection of Traditional Asian Postpartum Recipes!
npr.org Postpartum soups and stews have traditionally been prepared for new moms by Asian grandmothers and aunts, the recipes passed down orally. A new cookbook seeks to preserve them before they're lost.

"Robles [a psychiatrist and faculty at the Long School of Medicine at UT Health San Antonio who was not involved in the AAP's new report] also suggests we check in frequently with new parents and offer to be helpful by dropping off meals, watching the baby while the new parents nap and, most importantly, listening to them without judging."
