I come from a very large family and many of my sisters were having natural childbirth in the hospital. I had one sister tell me of her first birth, which was in the hospital and how she felt during and after the process. She went on to explain her birth experience with her next child, which was a homebirth. The stories could not have been more of a night and day difference. I realized that my choices could create a birth that I could remember with JOY
!!
All four of my children have been born at home. Two of them were water births (which I absolutely LOVED)! I feel I have created a remembrance for myself of EXACTLY what I wanted in the birth of my children. By doing this, I have been empowered in so many other ways in my life. Granted, birth is not exactly how we plan. By understanding this and fully educating ourselves before and during pregnancy, we can except and find peace with whatever takes place. My wish for all woman is that they will understand the power within themselves to feel this JOY through taking control and having the BEAUTIFUL birth experience they have always wanted.
