☀️ Do they feel like sunshine?
“Do you have people in your space who support your birthing goals and vision?” will always be one of the top questions on my intake form.
In my opinion, one of the biggest factors that can change the trajectory of your birth experience is who you invite into your space. Birth is vulnerable. It is powerful. And the people joining you matter.
Even well-meaning people—people who love you deeply—can unknowingly bring their own fears, biases, expectations, or triggers into the room. And without meaning to, they can derail the birthing space you worked so hard to create.
So ask yourself:
-Do the people you’re inviting into your birth space feel like sunshine?
-Do they make you feel safe?
-Do they feel the need to parent you?
-Do they support your vision—even when it looks different from what they would choose?
Because your birth space should be filled with people who add to your strength, not deplete or compete with it. ☀️
