Because lots of 2nd time mums to be had a similar experience. For those that don’t know, with Mia, my waters broke on the 2nd and I ended up needing an emergency C section on the 4th which 2hrs later resulted in a big postpartum hemorrhage. Not exactly what we had in mind but from speaking openly about it I’ve met SO many couples who went through the same. It’s more common than I thought! I’d by lying if I said it hadn’t crossed my mind that at almost 38wks I’ll be very soon bringing my little man into the world, BUT, I’m so much more calm and in tune with it all this time around. I know every pregnancy is different. From only 2wks pregnant I felt different this time. Carrying Mia was a breeze in comparison to this little dude. I’m far from an expert but what I’m telling myself this time is below, it may help some of you ❤️ 1. My body & my mind are capable and I have full trust in them. 2. Rather than contractions, I’ll be calling them surges. And each surge is a step closer to meeting my baby and a step closer to beginning my journey to feeling myself in my body again. 3. The surges will last up to a min at a time. And I can do anything for a minute! 💪🏼 4. I’m trusting the process & on the day I will do whatever is safest for me and little man. 5. Should it go the same way as last time, it’s not my first rodeo and despite 2 days of worry & confusion, I’ve had almost 4 years of beautiful Mia. Her birth was a success 🥰 6. Any which way a woman chooses to give birth or is told a certain way is safest to give birth is a superhero. Growing & birthing a baby is a trauma on our bodies. Even if it all goes “smoothly” there’s still a recovery process both mentally & physically. lastly, and this may be a tad woo woo for some 😂 But I believe little man’s birth date, plan and time has already been decided in the spiritual realm anyway. The physical side, the portal is me. But my Ángels & guides know how and when he’s arriving, and I feel comfort with them around me 💫💫」6月24日 17時03分
