Why am I starting a blog
My motivation:
My motivation for starting this blog is to write down my experience as well as connect with other woman that are going through or have been through this. Sharing and connecting with other woman is a must and a way to empower each other to be ourselves whatever that looks like.
My story:
This pregnancy has made me face my fears, nurture myself and slowdown. In the beginning I was taking a passive stance in my decisions with this pregnancy. Then it hit me that this is my journey and I need to do what works for me and no one else. So, I chose a midwife which has empowered me to trust my body and slowdown to enjoy the amazing changes my body is undergoing. So, as I sit and write this I am 8 months pregnant and have 5 weeks to go!!
My feminine reclaiming:
I think as woman we are told and shown that there are certain ways to be beautiful. These ways are confined in a narrow box. We forget that a woman's body is a vessel of endless beauty and cannot fit into a box. This is a concept I have recently embraced through my pregnancy, birth books and prenatal yoga. As, Ina May Gaskin says in her Birth Matters book: Pregnancy is an awakening to our feminine energy. I believe this to be true as our bodies transform physically and our minds emotionally there is a shift that happened for me which made me see the beauty in what the feminine body and mind can do. We underestimate our power and voice so I am here to reclaim mine.
So, as I embark on this journey of blogging and birth I invite you to share your stories or thoughts.
