Trust your body's instincts and build positive expectations for childbirth
Are you terrified by the prospect of childbirth?
Does the mere thought of it fill your mind with images of pain and horror?
It's perfectly normal to feel scared, even terrified, of giving birth. Many women feel this way in the leadup to childbirth, and when you look at the way it is portrayed in the media it is hardly surprising. Of course, it's not helped by the fact that women who go through painful births are often the first to share their stories, while those who have an easier time may keep quiet.
Your mind may be filled with negative images based on what you've seen on TV, or stories you've heard from friends or family. If a close family member has had a painful birth experience, you may worry that your experience will be similar. But every woman is different, and every birth experience is unique. There is no reason to expect that your experience will mirror those of other family members.
Let your instincts take over
The good news is that childbirth is not invariably a painful, drawn-out experience. Many times it is actually the anxiety and tension itself that interferes with what should be a perfectly natural, instinctive process. If you can learn to relax and trust in your body's ability to do what women have been successfully doing for thousands of generations, you give your body an excellent chance of delivering your baby quickly and comfortably.
When you can approach childbirth with a relaxed attitude and avoid consciously trying to control the process, you will find that a "deeper you" takes over. This deeper you operates at the subconscious level, driven by a powerful instinct that has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years. When you let this primal instinct take the reins, you can simply focus on relaxing and letting your body do what it needs to do.
