"Hey there lady! I just visited your blog (thanks for sharing) and was excited to read that you are planning a natural birth. I just wanted to send you some words of encouragement. I remember the anxiety and excitement I felt when preparing to welcome my daughter into the world. I was nervous about the journey my body was about to take but determined to experience every second of it. I also know how it feels to see the expressions of judgement on the faces of those who don't understand the decision you have made. What was worse were their words. They stung and made me doubt my own abilities.
Luckily, I was blessed to be surrounded by some amazing women who offered their love and support. My mother told me that I am the only one who knows what my body and spirit can handle and that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. I have two beautiful babies and delivered both naturally. Their births have been the most amazing and rewarding experiences of my life. I struggle to put it into words and really there are none that are worthy. I have no doubt that you will do a beautiful job in both delivery and motherhood. Welcome to the fold!"
