I have always found this to be true! Ladies, if you don’t already, keep track of your menstrual “moon” cycle and how it correlates with the moon you should give it a try. It is a great way to help us enjoy menstruation, pregnancy, birth, and menopause as natural experiences of our life cycle.
Do you ovulate on the new moon and menstruate on the full moon? Or vice versa?
This is your birth, educate yourself about your choices! As a hypno- doula I know that birthing mamas have the power to provide themselves with self- anesthesia through simple hypnosis techniques and practice. You can have a pain free birth using the power of your mind and breath. Epidurals may be a regular procedure, but they are dangerous.
