I experienced ZERO pain giving birth.

One of the biggest lies society tells us that you can’t have an #unmedicatedbirth without some pain.

I understand that many women may never experience birth like this and it makes me sad.

Birth has been enjoyable for me the last two times and I hope to be able to do it again one day. It requires so much work from our minds and bodies but it’s a good work - one that brings life into this world.

So, how do you achieve this kind of experience?

Much of how we are prepared mentally and manage #birth mentally will impact the physical experience. The more fears we carry, the more pain we will experience.

Why?

Because your body won’t be fully relaxed and surrendered for you to experience birth. The fear tension pain cycle shows that the more we fear or anticipate something we don’t desire (aka fear of contractions or pain), the more our body tenses up when we think about them or experience them which leads to more pain. But, if you’re confident and know how to #werk with them, your perspective can change your experience of them.

I can confidently say that my third birth was easy. I was very focused on my mental and spiritual preparation to not allow my physical experience of birth to overtake my mental experience of birth. Honestly, I was so sad it was over because it was such an enjoyable experience.
