Words Of A Birthing Goddess

Last night I had the pleasure of attending a birth plan meeting with a gorgeous mama, looking forward to a Springtime homebirth, and one of her closest friends (who has homebirthed four of her five children). The woman I'm serving has described her friend as "a birthing goddess" and rightly so! I feel very privileged to be invited to share this journey with these two women.

The highlight of that lovely evening came when we were discussing some of the downfalls of birth plans. "Birthing Goddess" came out with the following quote:
"It's hard to plan, because a lot of the time you will fly by the drum of the uterus. It sets the beat to your birth"
Gorgeous Mama and I were both very moved by her words. Beautiful and apt.
