If you want to hear negativity about birth, it’s not hard to find….
All around us birth is depicted as one of the most painful and dramatic experiences a woman can go through. It’s in our movies, tv shows, and the endless birth stories from family and friends.
But this wasn’t my experience even after I had developing preeclampsia, going in for an induction ( known to be more painful) and ending up with an emergency c-section.
In fact, I loved my birth and still think about the spiritual experience it was till this today.
Although, there was a lot of preparation that went into my positive birth experience, even went things went crazy ( read about it here) affirmations had a massive impact on my overall experience.
This is because during those moments when things felt too intense, I was able to recentre by reminding myself of my inner strength and power.
