Expecting? How Safe Do You Feel?

Did you know that you WILL NOT release your baby if you do not feel SAFE!

Period.

As labor begins, if you are afraid, scared, feeling unsafe and uncertain your body releases hormones that will slow or stop your labor. This is a basic and primal survival response.

Just like any other mammal, you will not release your baby if you do not feel safe.

Think of a cat that will find a secluded, dark and safe place to birth her kittens. Away from distraction, away from possible predators, away from any threat. She will keep her babies in until she finds a safe place to surround herself and her babies for a prolonged period. Once she is safe, her labor will kick up, she can devote for entire attention to the process, and her body, without distraction or threat.

Real or perceived danger, thoughts, feelings and attitudes, you have about birth WILL affect your experience.

If you are hesitant, scared, feeling alone and afraid, not confident or fear this experience, even the relationship you have with your body, can increased the possibility that your labor will be more painful, longer and possibly traumatic.

This is why I am such a HUGE advocate for unbiassed, non-agenda based and inclusive childbirth education. It is the BIGGEST factor in embracing your experience and creating beautiful memories. I have, not only personally experienced this change, BUT also professionally see it time and time again!
