You know? Sometimes it is hard to remember that not everyone believes the way that you do about birth. And sometimes, even, I think that people do not want to know the truth about birth. That can be a bit frustrating for me.
I feel that birth is a spiritual journey, that we are privileged to experience. When I was pregnant with Caroline, I felt the most beautiful, safe, and empowered, as I ever have before. When I went into labor with her, I felt very in control and was very proud at how hard I was working. I wish that everyone was able to feel the same thing that I did. But alas, not everyone will be able to do that.
Tomorrow is my first meeting with the group that I started for natural child birth. I hope that women are able to use my group as a support group and are able to learn to trust what they can do. I want to be that little voice that tells them that "You can do this." I have a friend who does this for me all the time, and it is my turn to do it for other girls!
