Why is disappointment radioactive for birthing women / people? In no other area of life do we advise each other to aim as low as possible because you don’t wan...t to be disappointed . Be brave - aim high . Chose your birth team and birth environment that will support your vision of the birth of your child . Care for your body is such a way that the highest vision is not a pipe dream , but a solid , science based possibility. Nature is in your side. Creative life force is on your side. God is in your side. Science is on your side. Our holy mother walks with you. Give your body the right ingredients and give your self the right birth team . And trust the process . Nothing is promised in life - not one more second is promised any of us. Yet the odds for a healthy momma / parent surviving birth are very high in the right environment and with a supportive mind set. And if things don’t go according to your vision, it’s perfectly fine to be disappointed- looking at disappointment allows us to build a plan for the future choices . It allows us time to self reflect with love on our lives . Allows us to move towards acceptance of perhaps medical proceedures that were needed and life saving. It makes space for our community to sit with us and support us through our disappointment to the next step of our live’s evolution . I say let’s aim high - in birth as in the rest of life.
