Preface
Letter from One Mother to Another
Birth is a sacred journey, one that will change your life forever. Not just because of the transition to becoming a mother, but also because of the monumental event that is the labor experience itself. The entrance of a new child into the world comes in many forms, and each familys story is unique. Birth is the ultimate surrender, no matter what your story.
Im here to champion light and love in the birthing process and reassure you that you can do it, you can get through it. Aspects of fear and doubt are rampant in our culture, and we tend to tell negative stories in passing. Perhaps it isnt dramatic to recount the positive story of the strong mother that had a natural and steady labor, with no complications and a healthy delivery. But as mothers, those are exactly the stories we need to hear and share. Keep your ears out for these success stories, and then focus your energy on learning more about them. Start asking questions. How did she accomplish that? What preparation did she do for labor? What was the labor environment like? What books did she read?
Birth has changed in the Western world over the past century for various historical and medical reasons. As a mother, it makes me question the future of birthing. How will we retain our ability to birth naturally if mothers do not pass our personal stories and knowledge on to one another? Communication and dialogue among women is essential to carrying on this knowledge.
This book shares some of the tools I used for my own birth experience, from the perspective of a mother who has been through a labor and delivery. It also includes some new postures and coping techniques that I developed as a prenatal, postnatal, and hatha yoga teacher. This book can complement the rest of your labor books and resources, and the techniques described should be used under the guidance of a skilled, professional birth team. I am not a care provider. I am simply a mom who has trained as a yoga teacher. It is important for your labor that you make sure you work with a qualified care provider that can help you navigate your own birth experience.
Never forget that every birth is unique. Depending on your own personal circumstances, risk factors, or the way your birth unfolds for you, you may need to remove your expectations about your birth and surrender to whatever path is laid out for you. Although I believe it is wise to learn beforehand as much as you can, I also think it is necessary to be prepared to let go of your plans and let the birth unfold in whatever direction it goes. Surround yourself with positive and skilled birth professionals that can guide you through these waters, and read the philosophy chapter in this book for some ways of looking at the world during difficult times.
In addition to a great birthing staff, I believe that pregnancy, birth, and parenthood are part of a slow transformation that requires a healthy dose of mentorship, guidance, and support. If you dont have a mentor or guide during your pregnancy in addition to an excellent birth care provider, seek one out. Also know that there are women across the world that have gone before you on this path, and that you are connected with them. Let simply their presence and existence support you.
Even if you have never practiced yoga, you can benefit from this book. Even if you have never meditated or heard of the word pranayama , I invite you to keep your mind open. If you are new to yoga, I suggest a weekly yoga class with a qualified prenatal yoga instructor so that you can ask questions and ensure you are safe while practicing any new positions or techniques.
I invite you to listen to the stories and experiences on these pages and take away what works for you, listening to yourself as you go on your personal journey to becoming a parent.
