Pregnancy as a time of immense transformation

Pregnancy and birth as a rite of passage

Each pregnancy, whether it be your first or fifth, is a time of incredible transformation — physical and emotional. That transformation may bring with it positive emotions, negative emotions, or a mixture of the two. The reverence for this period seems to have been lost on many, but not on us.

You are growing an entire bloody human in that belly of yours.

The shifts in you physically and mentally are immense, and that’s before you add in any sickness, physical discomfort, relationship, work and identity transitions.

Surround yourself by people who get it. And give yourself permission to feel into it all.
