Most pregnant parents hope for a healthy child.

 ’Healthy’ in this instance implies not only vitality but also freedom from disability (or difference) of any kind.

This fear is very real for many of us and often rears its head when we are due a scan, amniocentesis or tuning into baby’s developmental milestones.

But maybe we don’t need to fear.

Watch this thought-provoking video. Do you see flaws in nature or evidence of the beauty and wisdom of creation  revealed in a unique and perfect way?

I ended up having a cesarean section.  

So what about the law of attraction? How, with my all my preparation, did I manage to create cesarean instead of an orgasmic (or even ordinary …as if that is possible), natural birth experience?

I have had lots of time to reflect on this and the answer lies in the question.

I SO did not want a cesarean section.

I mean, I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY did not want cesarean section.

And with the benefit of hindsight, I can see now that I was far more focused on ‘NOT HAVING CESAREAN’ than on having a natural, vaginal birth.

For example, I was so thrilled to have a doc who did not assume that a cesarean was needed even though I was having twins one of whom (at the time) was in breech.

I wrote a post on ‘the myth that breech babies required cesarean’.

I used many healing techniques to avoid cesarean.

And I so DID NOT WANT CESAREAN. I resisted it at every level of my being. I hated the idea.

And that is why I attracted it. Because I was far more passionate about not having cesarean than I was about having a natural birth.

Instead of investing my energy into having a natural birth, I was fighting the possibility of cesarean.

 And each time I said NO to CESAREAN the universe just heard ‘CESEAREAN’….(it doesn’t hear NO..it just brings us what we focus on whether or not we want it).

And with the precision of this amazing universal law, it delivered exactly what I had given most of my attention to and my beautiful girls made their safe, gentle entry into this beautiful world through a very discrete incision in my pubis.

Are you fighting against or flowing towards what you really want in your fertility and birth experience?

Our girleens (little girls) have actually been here over a month during which blogging did not get a look in on the to do list.

 And their magical beginning took the form of a cesarean section (more of that in later posts and how I attracted this experience). Both babies choose a breech position.

Our first gift to them was an Irish name….Eadaoin (pronounced Aydeen) which means ‘goddess of beauty’ and Caoimhe (pronounced Queeva) which means gentle, graceful and beautiful. 

And they are all of that!

Wow. How lucky are we to have these two delights in our lives? How much I have learned (and unlearned) since their birth! What a privilege it is to be a mother.

Above is a photo of their first bath!

In great joy,

I am 34 weeks pregnant with our twins and have been sleeping a lot lately!  Hence, I haven’t posted for a while. However, lots has been happening.

We are coming into a new phase in the preparation for birth. My wonderful doctor (general practitioner) also happens to be an Acupuncturist and Homeopath. 

How lucky am I? This is proof of the Law of Attraction in my life for sure.

Last week we had a session during which she showed myself and my partner different acupressure points to facilitate the birth process…to reduce back and abdominal pain and to support delivery of the placenta.

This means that my partner can play an active part in helping his babies be born…..and this in turn will support me. How empowering is that?

I also love the idea of being able to tap into this ancient healing technique during the birth of our twins.

There is so much assistance available to us when we ask for it!

What are you asking for? Perhaps you already have resources (like your partner) that could be utilised in an even more powerful way during birth.  What steps can you take now to allow that to happen for you?

In joy,

Today is International Passion Day!!!

We can easily find ourselves just going through the motions or challenges of fertility, pregnancy, birth and parenting. Sometimes it seems like all we meet are bumps on the road.

But we are here for much more than that.

We were born to be joyful and exuberant as we journey through this life.

Often we are afraid to aim for what we truly want because we don’t feel worthy enough, competent enough or deserving enough.

But your passion for creating new life, enjoying a magical birth experience, thriving in motherhood, sacred family life, and enjoying loving, happy relationship is the pulse of the universe expressing itself through you.

What you love and God’s will for you are the same (Janet Bray Attwood and Christ Attwood).

Hand in hand with every desire we have comes the ability to realise it. We can only ever really want for what is possible.

A newborn does not desire to walk. A 3 month old has no interest in speaking. Their passions lie perfectly in the range of possibility in relation to their abilities, skills and vibration.

The same applies to you.

So whatever you are passionate about, know that having the passion is a sign that you are ready to create that reality and take steps to realise your dream NOW.

Being pregnant with our glorious twins I am acutely aware that in many parts of the western world a cesarean would be considered necessary procedure! Here too (in Espana).

Thankfully, with the help of the law of attraction, I have found a hospital with an empowering attitude towards mum, dad and baby and a view that birth is, in fact, natural. Yippee! So I can deliver vaginally even though we are having twins. Great.

And then we discovered that one of the babies is in breech…..

So I was thrilled with my doctor’s reaction. All is well as far as he is concerned! We are still on for a natural, vaginal birth!

I found this video that shares one couple’s story of their 3 breech babies.

“Refusal of vaginal breech is a human rights violation in that it forces a woman to agree to surgery in order to obtain medical care. The right to informed consent is meaningless where there is no right to informed refusal.” - Henci Goer

Focus on what YOU want your birth experience to be. Intend to attract skilled people who support your vision in a safe, empowering way. And know that it doesn’t matter what your experience up to now has been.

You are a powerful creator and can begin to harness the wonder of the universe and create a magical beginning for you and your baby now!

In joy,

The trailer to this new documentary is very powerful indeed. ’The Other Side of the Glass’ looks at how current practices around birth dis-empower dads who have been overlooked in the birth process.

In this clip we are reminded that a new baby is fully conscious and involved in the process of birth and it matters how we touch and treat her.

It is a good reminder too that joy in birth and parenting requires us to honour the sacred masculine as well as the sacred feminine.

Thanks Linda for sharing this with me.

In joy,

Mums pregnant with twins and multiples get used to others predicting confidently that they won’t go full term. This is the prevailing belief and from their perspective it is the truth.

In many places around the globe there is an assumption also that having twins and a cesarean go hand in hand.

As we know, whatever we believe we attract to us.

So I was delighted to come across this video which offers evidence for another perspective in which twins and multpiles are born naturally, vaginally, safely at home and even full-term.

I mentioned before that myself and Life Mastery Guide Joanne Roibu are putting together audio programmes for success in Pregnancy, Birth and Breastfeeding with Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Click here to read that blogpost.

Some of you will be familiar with EFT which is a marvellous tool that helps to release blocks to physical, mental and emotional well-being by tapping on certain energy points in the body (linked to different meridians as identified in Chinese medicine).

Well, Joanne will also be running an 8 week EFT teleseminar series ‘Removing Blocks To Success With EFT’ in which she will skillfully guide participants through different success related themes to clear out blocks (conscious or otherwise) you may have to success.

Joanne will be hosting a blog talk radio show and providing a demonstration on air to give you some insight into how powerful this technique is particularly when guided by an excellent coach. I will be the guinea pig!

Regardless of what kind of success you seek..from fertility to financial freedom, this show is worth tuning into. Listen in live this Saturday 6th of September at 1pm Eastern Time or 7pm Central European Time or tune in later.

Partners and children (even babies) can benefit too.  

Click here for the link to the show.

See you on the show!
