Key Takeaways
- When you relax during contractions, the contractions also relax.
- Remember that power doesn’t dictate the outcome.
- We are trying to maximize the outcome of a pregnancy- it’s simply biology.
- Recognize and believe that your body is doing the best it can. Your body is working for you, not against you.
- Just because your body is doing its best, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will give you your ideal outcome. Complications are still going to occur, but just trust that your body is doing its best.
- Trust your body and trust yourself. You can’t hear that enough.
- Learning how to feel your body is essential because when something fails you, you tend to detach from that connection in order to keep yourself safe.
- You can’t force trust.
- If you have a fear during labor and delivery, it can prolong the birthing process.
- As we get older, we become more cognitive-focused which is why we lose sight of some of our sensations.
