Tell Me A Story

Birth stories are important. All of them. Some need to be processed more than others, but they all have value.

We don’t just need to hear the ones with dramatic ups and downs. We also need to hear the ones that may seem uneventful to others.

We also don’t just need to hear them when we are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. We don’t even need to be grown ups to hear them. 

In my affirmation workshops, we always spend time discussing our knowledge and beliefs about birth and where that comes from. We talk about what we have been told and shown has shaped the way we feel about pregnancy, childbirth, and even parenting. Sometimes people come in having never heard anything positive about labor or childbirth as a whole. I want to change that. 

Indulge me if you’re willing. Share your birth story in the comments.
