Instead, I encourage you to seek out positive stories – the ones that seem like something that would only happen to other women, the lucky ones. Listen to them, watch them, read about them. Seek information about what made a difference in their births and how they felt. When a negative thought about birth pops out of the library and into your mind, make the conscious choice to replace it. See ya later thriller birth novel, welcome to the library positive birth story. Seems simple right? Of course it takes practice catching those feelings and thoughts, like anything, but it is worth doing and will make such a difference to how you feel when you do eventually go into labour or prepare for the arrival of your baby.
Don’t miss the opportunity to create your best birth. You truly do have the power to do this. I can’t wait to hear your birth stories – you are all superheroes.
