I love having the chance to talk with first time moms that are just beginning to learn about their bodies and birth. It is wonderful to speak to the fears that have been placed about birth in our society and show them
for the empty bags that they are.
Prenatals are really my personal favorite part of the process of birth. Being able to open up a box of awe and wonder with so many thing to discover and learn about is such a wonderful process. Knowing that as a young woman/ couple will be forever changed not only by a pregnancy, labor and birth but also by the process and discovery about it. The tools that they acquire won't just be for this time or this baby but will serve them throughout there lives. Principles such as trust, hope, vision, choices, connection and many others will be theirs as they begin practicing them.
Birth can be a foundational time in our lives. All births have the power to be this for us. They are a time of newness. We don't have to hold onto all that we thought we knew but can search and find out more and better way to do things this time around because it is all new again. We can grow from all the experiences that we have had before and lay them to rest that nothing will be the same at it was.
With each new piece of information that a woman receives, applies and sees new results there is a strength building that she can receive, apply and see new results in other areas of life as well. When we grow babies inside of our bodies we are a part of understanding new life. The spiritual quality of this gives us an open time in life to let life grow in all areas as they open.
I love prenatals. So full of newness and change.
Nice :-)
