Pregnancy Info HOME

Please dont be terrified. Our culture for some reason promotes this fear. Pregnancy and birth are not medical events but a natural ones. I absolutely loved my first birth which was two months ago. I still find myself re-living it in my mind, looking at the pictures or watching the video. It brings tears to my eyes almost every time. Try the hypnobirthing method...it concentrates on relaxation during the birthing process. I had a natural birth with my boyfriend, sisters, best friend, mother and my midwives present. Labor is nothing to fear. I felt like I was on a ride, as if something came over me. It is a force that commands your full attention and it was so powerful and intense. During my contractions as I was dialating I sang to her (but I bet it sounded more like moaning haha) . As I was pushing I kept saying " I love you baby". My sister kept saying, "Breath love down to your baby." It was beautiful...oh and it was hard work!! I felt "high" when she came out and exhausted. It didn't help that I went to sleep late the night before and only 1 hour later I went into labor...it was one of the coolest days of my life. I could keep writing about it...
