Birthing from within

Ryan and I just finished our last "Birthing from Within" class last night. We were in a small group, just us and one other couple. The facilitator was a wonderful womyn named Sarah, who did such a great job at creating a welcoming and safe place for us to share our stories, fears, and even tears.
Over the last 6 weeks, Wednesday night became something to look forward to, a time when I could dive deep into the depths of my experience of being pregnant, and the huge right of passage that is birth. Even though we learned a lot about the process of birth, what I gained the most was ability to completely trust the process in whatever shape and form it takes. To birth my baby, I too must be reborn.
