Do you care what others think of your birth plans?
Is it something that concerns you.
That you try to tip toe around with others, making excuses even regarding *your* birth and pregnancy?
I have been known as a people pleaser. But when it came to my fourth pregnancy, I decided *I wanted to birth my baby the way I felt best more than I wanted to please others.* …
More than every doctor I talked to.
More than my friend I saw at the library.
More than acquaintances or best friends.
I had to do what my gut told me despite what other people said to me or thought about me. I didn’t share my heart with many because my energy was too precious to expend. I protected myself and my heart.
But ultimately, people will always have an opinion.
I surprised myself during pregnancy because I felt like in some ways, my people pleasing tendencies were being broken off. I had to do what was right for me. And I encourage you to do what is right for you.
