If you’ve entered your last month of pregnancy then you’ve got through the terrible bouts of morning sickness, and the roller-coaster mood swings. You’ve watched your belly and boobs grow to a size you never imagined they could be. And you’ve become well versed in the pregnancy and birth lingo. You’re excited about meeting this little person with whom you’ve become intimately bonded. But you’re also starting to experience some pangs of anxiety about the birthing process, especially when every mother you speak to seems to be filling your head with her birth story…
“That’s okay Mama! It’s entirely normal!”
Up to now your pregnancy has been a unique journey, and rest assured, your birth experience will also be a unique experience, because no two births are entirely the same!
But the secret to achieving a beautiful birth experience, is to invest this last month of your pregnancy in YOU. In this way, you not only empower yourself for the birth of your baby, but it becomes a life changing milestone in your life’s journey, that will prime you for motherhood.
Ultimately, you’ll always look back on this month as your sacred month!
In the following weeks I’ll be giving you some sneak-peeks into my Beautiful Birth, Magnificent Mom in 4 weeks, birth empowerment eBook. I’ll also share with you, some of the best “self-care” secrets for this sacred 9th month…
Until next week, I’d like to leave you with one of my favourite quotes from Harriette Hartigan, an exquisite birth photographer, writer and midwife :
Giving birth and being born brings us into the essence of creation where the human spirit is courageous and bold, and the body a miracle of wisdom!”
