Dallas Birth Guide

There is no wrong way to become a mother 💚

"I feel like I cheated" one new mom said to me as she was holding her newborn in her arms. She had opted for the epidural during labor after she had planned for a drug free birth. My heart broke for her because that's not at all how I saw it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I saw her throughout her pregnancy as she grew and struggled more and more to do everyday things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I saw the growing pains she had as her baby got bigger and her belly expanded. ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I saw her exhausted toward the end because no position was comfortable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I saw her prepare by reading, practicing, and taking every class that was offered.

I saw her walking, bouncing, and doing anything possible to speed up her labor.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I saw her push her baby into her loving arms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That doesn't sound like cheating to me.

What a beautiful birth! Thank you Belly Birth & Beyond DFW for sharing!
