Even though women have been having babies since time began,
it has been many years since women have shared that experience
with other women. It has become a private experience, usually
shared only with your partner and health care provider.
In her book, Birthing From Within, Pam England encourages mothers
to share their birth experiences with other pregnant women so
that they can enter birth with strength and knowledge.
The following questions may help you discover the secrets that
your friends already know and give you strength for your own
birth.
| • |
What helped you most
when you gave birth? |
| • |
What was your spiritual
experience of giving birth? |
| • |
If you could do it over
again, what would you do the same? |
| • |
Is there anything you
would do differently? |
| • |
What do you wish you
had known beforehand?** |
**taken from Birthing From Within by Pam England and Rob
Horowitz. |
