ECSTATIC BIRTH STORIES
Birth stories are of paramount importance to the pregnant woman...up until now many of the stories a pregnant woman has been told have had negative, limiting and disastrously self-fulfilling results.
Example
"9 September 99 “YES,
DEAR, I HAVE READ THE ARTICLE ABOUT ECSTATIC BIRTH AND I DON’T BELIEVE IT.
I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT ANYONE COULD EXPERIENCE BIRTH AS ANYTHING BUT
DREADFUL, HUMILIATING, AGONIZING AND A NIGHTMARE!
This woman says that her mother told her that her first birth was awful. Her second birth was terrifying.
In her 3rd birth she was sure she would die, and with the 4th,
she was sick with fear and dread each day of her pregnancy.
The woman speaking was that fourth baby."

STRETCHING
pregnant
woman as she enters her ninth month.
One cell says to the other. . .
“I feel like I am
being pulled apart.”
“You have to stretch more.”
“I have already
stretched so much.”
“And now you must stretch more.”
“No one told me I
was going to have to stretch this much, enough is enough, I quit!”
“You can’t quit.”
“Why not?”
“You made a commitment.”
“Says who?”
“We all did.”
“Well, it doesn’t
feel good.”
“No one said it was going to feel good all the time.”
“Just how much more
do I have to stretch?”
“As much as it takes.”
“What does that
mean? I am scared it will be too
much.”
“You can do it, and you are not alone. Just look at all of the other cells around you.
They are there to help and stretch with you. Notice, there is something familiar about them,
they are going through the same process of stretching.
Holding hands and joining hearts we can all stretch together and feel safe and supported.”
“Oh, yes! I feel
much better now, thank you!”
“You are welcome!”
