When you pass through the waters, I will be with you... Isaiah 43:2
.________________________________________.
Pregnancy and childbirth are often depicted for women as a time of sickness and mood swings, followed by twelve to twenty-four hours of pain and hard labor. Many women have been told they are "not built" for a natural delivery. Some are told that they can never conceive at all and still others have suffered the pain of conceiving, then miscarrying. All-in-all, childbirth is more often than not viewed as nothing more than a "neccessary evil"... What a shame! Granted, complications do occasionally arise, but my hope, at the very least, is that the mama's I support can go into their births with confidence and a joyful anticipation.
Birth is one of the most trying -- yet infinitely rewarding -- events in any mother's life... every expectant woman deserves a doula.
