Part of being able to answer our questions about birth and labor, is being able to understand how culture plays a part in how we view birth, and then being able to break through that. England describes it this way, “In birth preparation, your first task is to empty your mind of expectations and judgements that narrow the possibilities for coping with pain, surprises and the hard work of labor. Being empty will allow you to recieve, moment-by-moment, the messages conveyed by your body mind and heart.” Doing this allows you to be more aware of your needs during birth instead of worrying about if you are doing it right.

I love new moms and babies, hence my blog. One of my favorite things is to see the joy that comes to new moms as they hold their baby in their arms. I also enjoy crocheting, reading, and my own 5 children at home. My favorite part about being a mom is watching my children discover their own talents and possibilities. I work part time as a nurse on a labor and delivery unit. I also consider myself to be part doula.
