Our bodies are powerful, and with the right support, we are are unstoppable. An empowering and positive birth experience can help to shape you as a parent. (and let's be honest, as new parents, we need all the help we can get!)I was a Labor & Delivery nurse for seven years before giving birth to my son. I thought I knew stuff! It was a totally traumatic experience. I then learned that my POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION, history of ASSAULT, and BIRTH TRAUMA were all connected. Talk about scary when my husband mentioned a baby #2! The lessons I learned, the LAMAZE techniques, strategies to handle pain, how to feel empowered and know your options - all part of my process that resulted in a very HEALING second birth experience. Everyone should feel super human after giving birth! If not immediately, then I hope eventually.
