Raised eyebrows. Questions. Concerns.
They didn’t understand why this was important to me.
They just didn’t get it. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt me. The ones I wanted support from, didn’t know what that support looked like.
But then I realized, it’s ok. It’s REALLY ok. They don’t have to understand. And I can *still* love them, get along with them, laugh with them and honor them. I didn’t need someone to honor me for me to honor them.
I decided to remain focused on what I wanted. No need to share all the details and talk about it. It was my personal journey. So I kept my dreams for my birth hidden in my heart.
It’s ok friends. If no one understands your birth plans. It’s ok. Because it’s exactly that. YOURS. You have been built and created with natural instincts, some call it your gut. Don’t focus on lack of support. Focus on your birth, how beautiful it can be. Trust. Peace. Rest. ????
