I Love Hearing Women Say These Things After Birth
I thought I couldn’t do it but I did
I had a hard decision to make but I did it
My body and baby knew what to do
If I can do that I can do anything
I used my knowledge to decide what was best for my baby and myself
I reached my breaking point- and then I kept going
It was the hardest thing I ever did but I DID IT
Every delivery story should end with “I’m SO proud of myself”. You are the hero of your own story and it is SO IMPORTANT that you feel that way. No, that doesn’t mean you didn’t have help. It means that you recognize the divine power and intuition you have as a mother to trust your body, make decisions, and DO HARD THINGS. Every woman should feel like they can do ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING after giving birth to a baby because that is how it was designed to be. That is why childbirth is hard. So that you can do it and when you do you are SO BEYOND AMAZED AND PROUD OF YOURSELF. That’s the ideal way to begin your journey of mothering your little babe- feeling completely unstoppable- knowing that you are a strong, capable, absolutely AMAZING MOTHER.
As your birth doula- my goal is for you to feel this. No matter what type of birth you choose- I want you to be the hero of your birth- because it’s your story and it matters.
