Stories from the Journey to Mamahood

I encourage my mama-to-be clients to surround themselves with birth stories aligned with the birth experience they’d like to have. Driven by the desire to more fully support the transition to mamahood, I am gathering stories of women’s experiences becoming a mama and sharing the gems here.

From Scared to “I Did That!” - During her first birth, a mama finds the safety and trust to overcome her fear and discover her body’s natural capability. Looking back, she is empowered!

Community - A mama shares the influence of community support during her pregnancy.

The “I’m Pregnant” Call - A funny story about that special call.

Big Brother at His Sister’s Birth - A second-time mama expresses how she communicated with her son in preparation for his sister’s birth, and his sweet reception of his sister’s arrival.

Ready for Birth - A mama is surrounded by the perfect nurturing “in those days waiting for labor to come.”

Nobody Wrote Back - A mama experiences lack of support at a rough moment, and shares the simple thing that would’ve made all the difference.
