I feel like this is under discussed! Motherhood has made my practice harder, but so much more intentional! Raising my daughter in my practice is such a beautiful thing
My god, I am SO sorry this was your experience 😭💔 no wonder you are still struggling with trauma from this! I’m so glad you’re still here and able to be here for your baba 🥰❤️ Sending you so much love and healing vibes ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘xxxx
Thank you for sharing your story ❤️ I had a very similar experience in November when I had my son - 50 hour Labour, 2 failed epidurals, emergency c-sec - and I often struggle watching any kind of birth story because my experience was so far removed from what I wanted. But hearing you talk about what you went through really resonated with me, and I want to thank you as sharing your story has really helped me on my recovery through the trauma ❤️ Also, as a fellow witchy mum, thank you for sharing how your practice has changed!xx
I am so incredibly sorry you had a similar experience and resonate immensely with it being so far removed from what you wanted. It is such a difficult thing to watch my siblings and everyone around have multiple perfect pregnancy’s and births when my one time was so awful. You’re so strong mama and I am happy you and you’re little one came out on the other side! My inbox in insta is always open too if you need a chat. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story! I can't imagine the emotions and thoughts surging through you at that moment. My pregnancy and delivery were pretty easy but my son didn't cry when he came out and there was concern for fluid in his lungs so they brought in a respiratory therapist to suction him out and put a tiny little mask on him to help him get enough oxygen. They x-rayed him and although he was good as soon as he cried and expanded his lungs, that moment of being a mom and feeling helpless that you can't help your child is a strong emotion. Thank you again for sharing your difficult birthing journey!
I'm there with you about how different your practice is with a child. For the first couple of years I didn't feel I could practice and felt like I wasn't myself and couldn't be myself. I then read The Green Witch and realised that I could make my practice whatever I wanted to and not, like yourself, I live my life as intentionally as I can, wherever I can, even if it's just stirring intention into my morning tea. My birth was no way as traumatic as yours but I was on my own for most of it and even though I got to the hospital in time, I still ended up having her on my own and had to shout for help. When I had moments afterwards to reflect, it made me realise how amazing our bodies are and what we can achieve. Thank you for sharing your story. xxx
My first pregnancy was fine my 2nd pregnancy was not but my daughter was only 7mths when I found out I was pregnant for my son! I was still working 2 jobs so I only had half days off so I think that was part of it maybe, but when I was 6 mths pregnant with my son I had to be put on bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy! I had lifted a box of oranges (I was a lunch lady lol) so I big box of them and after I started bleeding (sorry but true!) my last dr. Appointment I had for him I didn’t even know but I was already 3cm dilated and in labor! To be honest I don’t remember much of his birth but I think it was my brains way of protecting me I guess. But he came out safe. My daughter and son are now 10 and 8 soon to be 9 in 3 mths! And again thank you for sharing! I bet it was hard to share! Sorry for the book lol. Oh and I didn’t plan having an epidural for either but did for both! And both times it only worked on the right side of my body! They said I must’ve been tilted so tilt more to the left; lol that didn’t do anything!
My kids also love being outside! And they love finding out what new plants/ trees/ shrubs are and what they do medicinal and spiritually! And they love folklore too! Pretty much everything I’m interested in!
Thank you for sharing your story. You was talking about discovering the new you and figuring out who you are now. Hit home with me. I lost my husband and I been having a hard time. When watching your videos and you say discovering the new you, was the lightbulb moment for me. I need to discover who the new me is. Thank you again for sharing your story. Sending positive energy your way.
You are an amazing woman!!! I hate when doctors think they know more about EVERYTHING going on with you, inside of you, than you do. My birth story is nothing compared to yours, but it had it's ups and downs as well and right along with the doctor who knows more about how you feel than you do. Now I'm a mother to a 19 year old young man and it's been a rollercoaster. Lol I'm so happy you and your witchy nibbling are doing well . Your doing great love! Many Blessings to you and yours love 🌻❤️🦚🌼🌸🕯️
Oh, thank you so much! I am so sorry you experienced the same type of thing. It was such a frustrating and helpless situation to feel like I didn’t have a say over my own body at the time. I hope you and your son are well! Time sure does fly doesn’t it?!?!
I onow you mighy not read this but your story bought me go tears. I had a similar experience and i "lost" myself this past year. My son sas born in july last year. Im hoping that i can be more "me" as i dont know who i am anymore. Also You are incredible
I don't know if you will read this..I, obviously, may be the only male witch following you on both Instagram and RUclips.....💜from a male point of view...you went thru a lot...I have heard similar things ....you are an inspiration...and I watched the whole video...with what you want thru...this shows the human side of being not just a witch...but, for you , a mother...thank you for having the courage to share this....💜
Wow! You are a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing your journey thus far. Yes, parenting and finding a balance with daily life can be a rollercoaster. You'll be a wonderful mother. Blessed be!
@@Thewoodlandwitch , You are very welcome. This comes from my heart, your story touched my soul. Your beauty and your wisdom are inspiring, especially comimg from a lovely and beautiful young mom. Teach your daughter all about Mother earth. She provides us with so much and you are sharing your findings with those who truly appreciate your practice. I have learned many things that I have forgotten over the years, but I have started practicing again thanks to you. You are in the beginning of your new journey. Your daughter, at her age will be like a sponge, absorbing it all. Show her the ways and trust me she will pick up on them, add to them and become her own one day. Please keep inspiring, I love to learn. You are never to old to learn new things, especially about nature. It has so much to offer. Stay safe and well. Until next time. 😊❤🤗
Pregnancy and child birth is the most natural thing in the world. It's also the most deadliest for mother and child. Life and death go hand in hand through the process. I fully support the most natural method possible. But unless you're comfortable accepting the danger of loss, I would always recommend medical monitoring of pregnancy. Can't say enough, one needs to find a medical practitioner that listens and works with the mother. My experience is that female medical practitioners are more inclined to work this way. I'm so happy you had a good out come.
