What helped you most when you gave birth? Thinking of the millions of women who have given birth naturally all across the world and feeling that uniting sisterhood. 2. What was your spiritual experience of giving birth? The indescribably intense love I had for my baby after giving birth naturally was amazing. This was my 3rd baby but my first natural birth. I love my first two children more than anything but it took a lot longer to adjust to them as newborns and feel the intense love I have for them now. With my third baby and my natural birth it was instinctual in a way I cannot describe. I was happy from the moment of birth through the next few months, like I was on a high. I never got depressed discouraged like I did with the first two. I felt like I had finally experienced birth the way God intended it to be for me. 3. Is there anything you would do differently? I am expecting another baby this spring and I will be taking a hypnobirthing or hypnobabies class to help me relax and stay calm. I really think I could have a nearly painless birth if I practice and prepare for it. 4. What do you wish you had known before hand? I wish I have known how amazing homebirth and natural birth were before I had any children. I wish I could go back and have my first 2 again so I could make better decisions for me and my baby. 5. If you could do it over again, what do you wish you could do the same? Pretty much everything, I would only change the fact that I didn't take a natural childbirth class. 1.
