Why this Info Matters
- Women are not familiar with birth
- Women are taught to fear birth
- Women are not encouraged to trust their bodies
- Women perceive that they need outside help
- Women have lost the ability to connect from within
You can do this. Educate yourself. Trust your body. Listen to your body and your baby.
