I am sharing my birth story to ease the fear of a lot of mothers out there. Growing up, I’ve been surrounded by many movies and ideas that say giving birth to a baby is dangerous, scary and unbearably painful. I find there’s more negative perceptions of childbirth than positive ones.

Before having my own children, I thought giving birth had to be in a cold white hospital with lots of equipment, tubes, and machinery around us. It felt like a project, kind of more technology based. We can’t really move and are told what to do. We wait, undergo a lot of pain and suffering with possible interventions before baby is born. Giving birth to a baby is definitely no joke, it's life-changing, and it is a very tough process. However, from my experiences, it doesn’t have to be scary. It’s natural. Woman are built to carry babies and our bodies do know what to do if we let it.

I find in this modern world, technology, marketing and personal gain has taken over. We have lost touch with our bodies and ourselves. We have adapted to relying on things to make us, ease us, and help us. When actually, we have all the tools within us to heal, recover, and do things. I want to remind everyone to never lose track of their abilities God gave us to begin with.

My birthing experiences has been so empowering for me. It allowed me to get back within my true nature and trust in me, trust in what God has created.

No matter what birth setting you choose, hospital, home, or any place possible. I pray for all the mothers out there to believe in yourself, let go of all fear, and let your body do its job. Embrace this journey. It's one of the most rewarding and meaningful events in your life. It may be up and down, and that’s ok.

Have a peaceful, safe and smooth journey.
Happy International Women's Day!
