What fears will you overcome to give birth?

Question

Fear is a natural part of going into the unknown. What makes us so powerful is moving through that fear. In preparation for birth, it can be so clearing to share our fears with other mamas who hold space for us. Confronting and releasing our fears allows for our birthing hormones to ease our babies out into the world. ✨blessings✨

Answer

I had a natural birthing centre birth with my first! LOVED the experience. hardest work I've ever done but honestly it was like a right of passage almost. it's challenging but honestly it's the power of your own body. its amazing what our bodies can Do!! what I also kept reminding myself is that I wasn't alone, so many other women were in labor with me at the same time all over the world. I also reminded myself that not only was I going through a challenging time but my baby also! the most tense you are the harder it is for baby to go down and it hurts them more also if you're tense. you really have to just let go and give in to the process and your bodys strenght. you have no control over it really! making low and long sounds like aaaahh or ooohhh from the start of the contraction all the way till the end of it really helps your muscles relax too. and what's great is that between each contraction you get a small break! once you're in transition period you have no idea what's going on around you and you become really in your own zone with no regards to time. my transition period was almost 3 hours long apparently but only felt like 1. counter pressure helps a lot too. my husband always put pressure on my lower back during contractions or if I was laying down he would put pressure on the inside of my quadricep pushing my leg down towards my torso which felt so good during contractions too.. YOU CAN DO IT MAMAS!! If I can do it anyone can :) I'm pregnant again and SO excited for the process too. I know it'll be challenging once again but I'd rather have 48 hours of gradual labor then 8 weeks of nausea and vomiting (1st trimester lol). before you know it it's all over and you have baby in your arms and you feel like a million bucks with the high of adrenaline of post giving birth! So excited for that high again!!

Answer

I’m on baby 2 and I’m way more scared of labour this time than last time. Blissfully ignorant I think, before my first labour. It was quite a traumatic experience with my son and I’m scared of the same thing happening again. Just trying to keep my eyes on the prize!

Answer

I’m not pregnant, but ttc. I have a fear of the unknown. Period. I guess because I still consider myself ‘young,’ and that it’d be hard. I’m afraid that I’d have to be alone, even though that’s not true at all.
