For a lot of women, it is hard to have complete faith in their body's ability to give birth. With a socitey that supports and promotes hospitalization, intervention, and even surgery for women with normal labors, I can see why we are reluctant to believe that we can do it without all the help.
Finding ways to reaffirm to yourself that you CAN do it and that birth is what your body was designed to do, is very important. There are books, classes and videos that can give you the positive reinforcement that you need in order to go into birth with confidence and strength. I found a video that has great affirmations to help build confidence in pregnancy, birth and parenting.
May all women enter their birth experience with an open mind and strong heart.
