Holding your partner’s hand seems like such a simple thing until you are laboring and trying to birth a baby. That handhold is your connection to each other and the transfer of love and strength.
The incredible transformative process of mothers.
You can just feel her drawing strength from her husband at this moment.
This a reminder that your uterus is mostly muscle. Fueling your body during labor is the same as fueling your body during exercise.
Sometimes the strength within you is not a big fiery flame for all to see. It is just a tiny spark that whispers ever so softly, you got this, keep going.
That contraction! So much power from that largest, strongest muscle we call the uterus.
Still in awe of this momma and the way she brought her baby into the world.
They don’t call it labor for anything Moms put in that work, showing their labor of love to meet their tiny humans.
