I guess the most important thing I figured out was that your attitude and how your approach your birth is of the utmost importance.
In other words, it is important to face each birth like a bull, with full force, no fear or hesitation, with the attitude that you can do this and you aren’t going to hold back. This is your opportunity to remember your power as a woman, inhibitions not allowed. Those contractions are power surges, and each one gets that baby closer to birth. Your baby feels your strength and also your fears.
