I want to tell you how I discovered this.
I was in the beginning of my training. I had the privilege of assisting at a childbirth education course and then attending many of the births of the women in that course.
What I found was that some of these women had the straightforward, simple birth promised in the course. But many others didn't.
I was with these moms as they gave birth in under two hours and with them as they labored hard for over two days.
I was with them as they gave birth in beautiful homes, calm birth centers, collected hospitals, and perfectly sanitized operating rooms.
I learned that while every birth is special - some births are more difficult than others.
But, the thing that stood out the most to me was that: there was a physiological REASON that some births were more difficult.
As I attended difficult birth after difficult birth with mother's who were well prepared, well educated, dedicated and committed to their births, I realized that the belief of 'know and trust the process' when it came to birth, was severely lacking.
Yes birth works.
The female body is designed to give birth.
YOU are designed to give birth.
But that doesn't change the fact that modern women have modern challenges to overcome. Challenges that make birth difficult - and different than the 'ancient' map.
Because this wasn't taken into consideration, there were critical things left out of the information the moms in that initial childbirth class had been given.
And another thing is, that information given without a way to implement it is really just a waste of everyone's time. (And this happens far to often in childbirth classes.)
This experience led me to ask the question, how is it possible that moms who are prepared and committed can still end up having the most difficult birth possible?
And as I studied this question, I began to find answers.
There are ways you can prepare your mind, body and baby for birth to make your birth less complicated and more straightforward.
In order to influence your birth experience, you need the correct knowledge, and you need to put that knowledge into action.
There are no shortcuts.
I have gathered the MOST IMPORTANT SECRETS (things that you can do BEFORE your birth even begins to help your avoid some of the biggest challenges that can be a part of birth.)
Birth Secrets is my way of sharing the knowledge you deserve to have about making birth safer, simpler and more straightforward.
I can't wait to see what will happen when you take this knowledge and pair it with your action.
In fact, I know it's not only possible to have a positive birth, but that most positive birth experiences are CREATED by insightful, purposeful and conscious moms, like you.
