Shelby shares her story of two births. When having her first baby, as a yoga teacher – people kept affirming that she would likely have a straightforward birth. Her first birth was long. When her baby arrived, she felt dissociated from her new baby. For her second birth, she did some more preparation with the ‘Transform Your Birth,’ course and got herself a doula. She became very clear that the most important part of the birth was meeting and connecting with her baby. This clear focus helped her to adjust to a cesarean. Shelby’s experiences remind us that we are not in control – but we can get clear on what is important to us, which can help us to adjust to what unfolds on the day.
