I also have noticed that I’m not freaked out as much about childbirth. Before, I would clench my thighs when I see someone on T.V. giving birth or read a story about birth. Now, my vagina opens, and we embrace the miracle of life because I know that it doesn’t have to be painful. In fact, it can be full of light, love, and bliss. That makes me happy. So, I have shifted from someone terrified to someone who is readily embracing the conception and birth of my babies.
