Plan for your dream birth - release anxiety and focus on support and knowledge!
Are you pregnant? This is your reminder to stop worrying about childbirth injuries and instead focus on something that can really make a difference - access to the right support and knowledge! You have the opportunity to create a safe and fantastic birth, just as you dream of.
Many prospective parents cannot stop reading about childbirth complications and injuries. Concerns about the unknown is natural, but sometimes it may feel as if all that information only increases the anxiety. But the truth is that it is not about reading about all the potential risks - it is about getting the right kind of support and information that strengthens your belief in your own ability to give birth.
Right kind of knowledge and self -confidence
If you want to feel calm and confident about your birth but still cannot release the turmoil despite all research, then it is because you may lack the information that really makes a difference. It's not just about knowing * what * that might happen, but about understanding * How * You can prepare to meet the challenges that may occur - and to have someone by your side who believe in you and your ability to give birth .
I know it can feel like the birth is largely about luck. You may think it's just to keep your thumbs up and hope it goes well. But the truth is that the chance to get the birth you dream of without actively preparing you is small. The birth is one of life's greatest experiences, and in order to have a positive experience you need to be prepared, whether you are firstborn or have given birth before.
You can control how the Freedom becomes
It is easy to believe that childbirth is something you just have to suffer, and that the only thing you can do is hope for the best. But in fact, you have a great opportunity to influence your own experience. It is not about predicting exactly what will happen - because no one can - but it is about being prepared mentally and physically to feel confident that you can handle the situation.
Preparation and continuous support can give you a number of benefits such as:
Reduce the risk of childbirth injuries by giving you the right tool and knowledge of how the body works during childbirth.
Gives you security and self -confidence both during and after childbirth. When you dare to listen to your gut feeling and clearly communicate how you want to be treated, your birth often becomes more harmonious and free from unnecessary interventions.
Strengthens your role as a mother by trusting your own ability to make decisions for you and your child.
Strengthens the relationship with your partner when you work as a team during childbirth. Many couples describe that their relationship is deepened by giving and getting support that makes a difference.
Take responsibility for your birth (otherwise someone else will do it)
When you start prioritizing your own experience and taking responsibility for your childbirth, you will quickly notice how it affects your entire life. The birth has the potential to both create and heal trauma, and by actively preparing you you create a basis for an experience that strengthens you for life.
So, if you are tired of feeling anxiety and insecurity about what is waiting and how to prepare, it is time to plan for the support you need. With the right support you can create the birth you dream of. (I promise, I've been there myself!)
