Proverb

"Being pregnant and giving birth are like crossing a narrow bridge. People can accompany you to the bridge. They can greet you on the other side. But you walk that bridge alone." - African Proverb

As I begin to contemplate natural birth, just weeks away, this quote reached out to me.  I will have support to help me achieve and maintain inner strength and a calmness of mind.  But, it is I, alone, who will have to draw from somewhere deep inside of me to reach the other side.
