How can I experience a good pregnancy and childbirth?

29-30 weeks pregnant, Health advice, Questions/answers

Marie, I don’t know why, but women I know have told me their stories about childbirth, and they all seemed to have many problems. Is it possible to experience birth without many issues?

Melanie

Dear Melanie,

You can never know ahead of time how your pregnancy story will end. Childbirth is like a box of chocolates!

However, we have the choice of trusting ourselves and life or choosing to be scared. Which one do you want to choose? Only you know. You have control over certain things, and the rest is up to nature, so why anticipate the worst? I posted a letter from Charlotte, a mom, on my blog. It can help you see things clearer.

All the best,

Marie
