“Whenever and however you give birth, your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body, and your spirit for the rest of your life.”
That quote has stayed with me because birth is about so much more than how a baby enters the world.
Years later, many women may not remember exactly how many hours they labored or every detail of what happened. But they remember how they felt. They remember whether they felt heard or dismissed. Supported or afraid. Powerful or powerless.
Birth leaves an imprint.
Not because there is only one “right” way to give birth, but because bringing a child into the world is one of the most vulnerable, transformative experiences a person can have. It changes you. It stretches you. It reveals parts of yourself you may have never met before.
No matter what your birth story looks like, your feelings about it matter. Your experience matters. The way you were cared for matters.
Because birth doesn’t just bring a baby into the world.
It brings a mother into the world too. 🤍
