Birth happens. Sometimes in the least expected places.

No one will ever be more invested in the birth and the health of the baby than the parents are.
This is why their informed decisions should be respected.

Beautiful

“They told you about the contractions, but did they tell you about the expansion?

Did they tell you how your body would open to make way for the whole universe to pass through?

Did they tell you how your heart would explode with a love bigger than anything you’ve ever known as you pulled your baby to your chest?

They told you about the ring of fire but did they tell you about the crown of stars?

Did they mention that there’s a moment when your baby enters the world and you leave your body and touch the heavens and become the light of a million galaxies?

Did they tell you how the pain of stretching to receive your child would be more exquisite than any sensation you’ve felt?

They told you would scream but did they tell you about how you would roar?

Did they tell you about the power that would rise up from your belly as you called your baby forth with your mighty voice?

Did they tell you how you would embody the wild woman within you and breathe fire with your song?

They told you would bleed, but did they tell you how that sacred blood wouldn’t scare you?
How you would feel grateful for that magical liquid of life as it trickled down your leg- how you would honor its flow and how it would help you heal a lifetime of hating your body’s bleeding cycles.

They told these stories and taught you to fear birth, to fear your power, to fear yourself. But you’re stronger and wiser than that mama. You know that birth is your divine dance, your soul’s song, your moment with God, and you walk fearlessly into her open arms”.

This is very unsettling. 😦 Being in an induced coma while her baby is welcomed earthside.

“The baby finally came in the world. The mother was in tears of joy, and the surrogate mother was hiding her tears with a smile.”

Your body and baby do not understand “policies”, “protocols”, “rules”, or “you’re not allowed to”.

Birth happens.
