“Birth matters…for each mother, it is an event that shakes and shapes her to her innermost core…birth also matters because the journey through pregnancy and birth offers an irreplaceable way for women to explore their deepest selves-their minds, bodies, and nature.”  Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07343393172718821496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224680546473121847.post-27072600515171779572011-11-23T04:00:00.000-08:002011-12-06T10:30:33.551-08:00Welcome!
My intention with starting this blog is to create a place for families to share their birth experiences with one and other. For expecting families to read about others that have gone on this journey and for those that have gone to express how it was. Every birth that I have had the opportunity to witness is a new experience. I learn the most when I listen to the family Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07343393172718821496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224680546473121847.post-8147564810044604452011-11-23T03:18:00.000-08:002011-12-06T10:31:44.194-08:00Maitri“…maitri, a Sanskrit word meaning loving-kindness toward all beings…maitri also has the meaning of trusting oneself- trusting that we have what it takes to know ourselves thoroughly and completely without feeling hopeless, without turning against ourselves because of what we see.”
