✦
Birth requires an immense amount of mental strength.
✦
The birthing parent has to understand that it will end eventually.
✦
That this pain has a purpose.
✦
Every contraction is bringing the baby closer.
✦
Birth can require you to submit fully to the process.
✦
To not fight the process, not fight the contraction.
✦
But to understand that giving into each contraction makes the birth happen more easily and with less pain. As tension creates more pain.
✦
This may require you to focus, not on the pain, but to focus on letting the contraction do the work of moving your baby down and out.
✦
Staying mentally available to the hard work of birth and giving yourself over to the birth.
✦
Trusting this process whole heartedly.
