Watch childbirth online videos and think about the options women
have in childbirth. Do you feel in a position to take responsibility
for your own birth experience? Sometimes childbirth is like being
knocked down, but it is the resiliency that really matters. What distinguishes
athletes is the ability to do well in times of great stress, urgency
and pressure, as says Roger Staubach.
Many women have awful childbirth experience, before
reaching the inner wisdom and finding the power within to give a natural
and unhindered birthing. We are often unaware of the emotional and
spiritual effect of childbirth on a woman's life, before experiencing
it. When childbirth is in the past, we get aware in an ever-increasing
measure of how worthwhile it is and how it transforms our outlook
and disposition to life.
Sometimes we might be tricked into thinking that we
have no control on childbirth, that we are victims and the women who
had an enjoyable birth are just lucky. The truth is that whether we
know it or not, we are the ones shaping our birth experiences.
If during your birth you were frustrated, because you
were in a position where you could not have control on the process,
take action to ensure that you don't get in that position again. Realize
that you can get control of your own childbirth, even if you don't
control the situation. If anything is blocking your path, go around
it, rather than beating your head against it. Look clearly at what
must be done and do it.
