What will YOUR initiation into motherhood look like?
The day you become a mother is filled with so much potential.
It could be the most beautiful, joyful, powerful journey; a journey of surrendering to God’s will,
of learning to step back and listen to your body, to your baby; a practice that begins ideally before pregnancy but is refined in conscious, attentive motherhood.
It also has the potential to be the most traumatic, bittersweet experience of your life- bittersweet because you may have still been blessed with a beautiful baby, but…
your initiation into motherhood was layered in fear of the mystery,
disconnection from your body,
distrust in your intuition,
and interference in the physiological cascade of birth that often results in someone claiming medical heroism (medical "saving" *becomes* necessary when birth begins with intervention).
The day you become a mother *could* be anywhere along that spectrum because one reality of pregnancy and birth is that there is a reason we don’t know:
the sex of our baby,
how many babies are in there,
what size our baby is,
what unique traits they will have,
when they will be born,
and, a difficult, unthinkable truth to face, even if they will be born alive.
In my time studying the female body and the process of conception to birth, I have seen it all and seen beauty, grief and lessons learned in many of the stories I’ve witnessed.
Ultimately, the outcomes we experience are not in our hands.
But does that mean we simply submit without taking practical steps to protect the inherent safety of pregnancy and birth?
Wondering how long you should take to prepare for YOUR next pregnancy?
You might not be in control of divine will, but here’s what IS in your control:
👉🏽What you eat
👉🏽Who you surround yourself with
👉🏽 How you move your body
👉🏽 What time you go to bed
👉🏽 How you manage stress
👉🏽 What thoughts you allow to take over and how you process them
👉🏽 How you do “prenatal care”
👉🏽 Who you choose to include on your care team or as birth witnesses
There is *so much* that’s in your power!
And arguably- these are the factors that are worth dwelling on because they are actionable habits that can have a direct impact on your outcomes.
Though not everyone realizes the impact of preconception preparation (yet!) - I hope I can assume that, if it were up to you, you would much rather scenario number 1 rather than number 2 that I shared above.
Making these reflections on my son’s 6th birthday- the day I became a mother,
My dream is for you to walk in my footsteps
To trust in your body -in the wisdom of your fertility, and in the inherent wisdom of conception, pregnancy and birth;
to learn to hear your body’s communications with SO much claritythey are impossible to ignore so that…
YOU CAN welcome your healthiest baby into your family!
YOU CAN experience an initiation into motherhood that fuels a passion to change birth for every woman in your community
YOU CAN learn *when* to surrender and *when* to submit or ask for help.
Do you dream of being the mother who births her baby feeling SO proud of herself and her body for being a vessel for creating life?
Do you dream of being the mother who- no matter what her outcomes be- feels encouraged and confident
that she did everything in her power to optimize her health to house, nurture and birth her babe to the best of her ability?
If you're dreaming of becoming a mother in 2024, NOW is the time to begin preparing.
