Free Birth

I’m 6 weeks pregnant and I feel like poop soup for most of the day.  Yet, at night I come alive. This is my 29th year circling the sun and the growing pains of woman/motherhood are testing my strength. I question everything these days and my life feels like its no longer mines to claim. A shell that I have outgrown and don’t even recognize. To break free I am choosing to birth free with this next baby. I am going to labor unassisted and birth forth new life and the ancient me. The me that is wise and graceful. Loving and strong.Secure and yet free. A free birth. A wild birth. A healing birth. I am on the journey and I feel the ancestors gathering their birthing tools and warm oils. They will anoint my womb with their strength. They will wash my hair with the healing waters of the goddess. They will hold my hand, leading me to freedom. This is all I need.

So excited to continue on my fitness journey! 💖 I’m a month postpartum. I’m down to pre-baby weight (already! Thank you tandem nursing) and I feel great. I’m going to start by incorporating small exercises into daily chores. Tomorrow when I go grocery shopping I’m not buying any unhealthy snacks for myself. And I WILL meet my water goals. Hold me accountable Mfs! 😘

2 months postpartum now and down 5lbs from pre baby weight! 😃 I’ve been focusing the most on meeting water goals (as nursing really demands quite a bit of water) and staying active in general. I’ve started with simple exercises and stretches but will focus on more specific things like that (and diet) after I’ve changed my physical habits to match my ever evolving lifestyle. (Trying to keep in mind that food is fuel and trying to just use better fuel for now. 🤷‍♀️)

Unassisted childbirth: would you give birth all alone?

by Denise Cortes posted in Mom Stories After I had two homebirths under my belt (no pun intended), I discovered another birthing trend: unassisted birthing or "freebirthing". Unassisted birthing is pretty much exactly like it sounds: giving birth without assistance. By yourself (gulp). Now, I'm all for alternative ways of doing things. I'm a... Want to get the full story?
