Re-organizational Birthing

As I’m going through this pregnancy, I’m discovering so many things about myself.  It’s been a great opportunity to practice some life lessons.

This week, the lesson has been to choose between fear or progress.  

When we are in a state of fear, we are scared that we are going to lose something.  In the case of pregnancy, most people are aware at some point about the possibility of a miscarriage, especially during the first trimester.  After that, there can be a myriad of things and tests that can be on your mind.  If you choose to go down the road of fear, one can be in for a long 9 months.  Other fears could include, losing the life that you currently have as things will change with a child.  

When we are fearful, or scared we want safety and comfort.  This means that our thoughts and choices that we make will be made of that as well.   For example, if you had a fear of gaining weight, you may make a different decision on eating a cake or dessert, you may exercise extra or take other precautions.  During pregnancy, it could mean excess worry, cutting back on activities that you would normally do, just in case.  Note that in pregnancy, you may stop doing things out of fear as opposed to being told what to stop by your healthcare provider.  

So, what is another choice?  You can choose progress and growth.
.  
When we want to grow, we feel more connected in our lives, give our gifts and contribute.  While it will be important to be aware of the possible events that can occur, it is not possible to prevent all of them from occurring.  So, what’s left instead?  Trust.
​
Trust that your body has been programmed with the wisdom of all the ages.  Trust that your body has the ability to do what it needs to and at the right moment.  Trust that there is always an opportunity to learn a life lessons, no matter how painful.
