I believe that there is something divine about a mothers’ intuition and a mothers’ energy. I believe that the connection between mother and baby begins when the baby is still in the womb. right now, 3 weeks or less from delivering, that I already know this little spirit, and she knows me. She can sense my feelings and emotions, and she responds accordingly. I believe that she feels the stress when I feel stressed out. As I prepare for this birth, and for the environment in which she will enter the world, I am acutely aware of the surroundings that I would like her to experience. The sounds, the lighting, the people, the emotions…everything is important. I believe the people attending the birth must be in alignment with the peace that is so important to me. I can see it in my mind how it will be. I love having a midwife that feels calm and peaceful. She has every confidence in me and my body to birth this baby in a beautiful and healthy way. My husband is there by my side, gently coaching me and telling me I can do it. No one is panicked, no one believes that I can’t do it on my own, no one is forcing tubes in my body, over-analyzing heart tones, or pushing me to take drugs because they think I can’t make it. I CAN make it. My body knows how to do this. It is beautiful. The pains of birth have a purpose, they have an end result. I work with my body to help it move along, not fight it. It is a privilege to birth this child. I love every minute of it. This is what I am most excited about for this birth of mine. The peaceful environment. The overwhelming love that will be in the room. And the gentle way in which she will come into this world.
If you want a recommendation for creating a peaceful, gentle birth, a wonderful book is “Gentle Birth Choices” by Barbara Harper.
