My amazing Hypnobabies students, Jenni and Brandon, were featured on the official Hypnobabies blog yesterday. I love this story so much.
I talk to so many women who choose to birth in a way counter to their intuition because of someone else’s desires. They say things like “Well, my husband doesn’t want…” or “My insurance doesn’t cover…” or “Since this is my first baby…maybe the next one…”
Jenni is the only mom I’ve ever encountered who had the birth SHE wanted even after making a plan for the birth OTHERS wanted.
Moms, please listen to your inner mama voice. If this is your first pregnancy, you may not have heard this voice before. Recognize it. Your intuition is powerful in pregnancy. You are wise. Listen carefully. Explore every inclination. And in the end…birth where/how/with whom you feel safest and most loved.
Drop the excuses that are stopping you from having the birth of your dreams.
By the way, THIS is what Jenni looked like after her dream birth. A blissed out mama!
Inexplicable Ways 
It makes me sad sometimes to hear that a woman doesn’t give birth where she wants to because of those very reasons. Intution is a very powerful thing and for some reason most of us try to over-ride it.
I’m sooo very proud of both of them!
