Most people I’ve talked to express conflicted feelings about childbirth. There’s an inner pull, an assumption even, that birthing and motherhood are inevitable in their path but it’s always been paired with deep fears. 

There’s fear of childbirth itself: the pain, uncertainty, and logistics required birthing within medical and political systems. Then there’s also fears rooted in the common wounds of our human experience: self doubt, fractured familial relationships, the future of the world.
