I recently read something that said the process of labour was a physical process, and saying it was also a mental process was false.
birth is not what we see in the movies, or in TV programs. It is not inherently scary where everything bad always happens.
women don’t lose themselves when they labour and birth. birthing people don’t experience birth from nothing to 100 percent instantly. rarely are things emergency. women aren’t often birthing in cars, though the few times it does happen it goes viral.
the thing about birth is that the mental piece IS actually a major part of birth. learning to breathe is the way through. visualizations work. affirmations work.
I love affirmations
