how doing art is related to childbirth,
What are the benefits of preparing for the unknown?
There is more information about childbirth than at any time in the past.
A Google search for “childbirth” brings up over 254 million pages.
Countless books, blogs, podcasts, videos, articles and more on the subject of childbirth.
Yet childbirth trauma is on the rise.
Perhaps there is something missing in all this information.
Preparing for childbirth may not be enough just by collecting these facts and data from the Internet.
In fact, being familiar with the modern medical environment, general medical practice, and body movements during labor
It's important to prepare for childbirth, but it's not enough to get you through to the end.
Birth is not just a physiological event, it is a transformative process.
No matter how much information a person gives birth to,
You may face at least one moment of surprise, doubt or shock.
It is possible to prepare knowledge for moments like this, but not just data and statistics.
The art of prenatal preparation gives mothers the experience of transitioning to a creative and intuitive mind.

You can begin to access deeper beliefs, insights, images and solutions.

You will feel doubtful, anxious, and overwhelmed.

Mothers can practice swimming in unfamiliar waters.

I think you can be interested in how to take small steps from there.
