Birth Art
At the end of our Birthing From Within classes, we were asked to make a picture that represented my interpretation of labor and birth.
I chose to make a heart because a birth is an experience created out of love. Labor and birth isn't always perfect (whatever we think perfect is) and it can be downright messy. The black smudges indicate that, during this experience, there will be times of doubt and fear.
Next to the heart is my handprint. This means that no matter what happens with my next birthing experience, I will take ownership of that experience. It will become a part of me.
