42. It Was the Biggest Relief

Jenna is on the show today, another first time mother who made the choice to birth her baby free of the medical system and be supported by wise woman in her journey.
It took some time for Jenna to come into the acceptance that she would be a mother, around the 4.5/5 month mark is when it really started to sink in.
In this talk she speaks to:
*The intensity of emotions that she felt when she first got pregnant
*Being honest to the fact that the news of her pregnancy wasn’t a joyful time for her and how the emotions of fear and being upset is normal to feel at those times too
*Once coming to terms with the pregnancy, Jenna left Costa Rica for the US and found a birth centre in Texas to birth her baby, even though she felt like she was settling on her hopes to birth at home
*Around the 7month mark, Jenna found a Traditional Midwife in Costa Rica and made the choice to fly back to have her birth
*Leading up to her birth Jenna used affirmations and positive birth stories as a way was to feel settled into her birth space
*She experienced a gradual pull into the early stages of her birthing process
*Choosing to have cervical checks within her birth as a way to bring more clarity into where she was during her birth
*Laughing at the point of emergence of her baby
*And Jenna speaks to being labelled “high risk” just because of her weight, which is completely unnecessary
This is a very wholesome story to be heard, Jenna followed her heart and made the choice to birth in her power and was surrounded by a team of women who trusted her to do so.
