Post birth high

Nothing connects you to another person like birth does.

Eye contact. Breathing in sync. Touching.

All of these things bring us together as one when a new life emerges, and a new person within you reveals itself.

To be welcomed into a birth is sacred.

Tonight I reflect on another glorious birth that I witnessed today. We celebrated the joy of a friends Bar Mitzvah all day yesterday, started homeschool classes today, and was called to support a dear friend welcome the worlds new greatest gift. As I drove home with my much anticipated Chick-Fil-A sandwich, I couldn’t help but send up thanks for being a part of this world of birth workers.

Birth work is universal. Birth work is fear. Birth work is joy. Birth work is balance. Birth work is support. Birth work is exactly where I am supposed to be. ❤️
