There is no single correct way to prepare for birth.
Some mothers feel safest when they understand their options. Some need help releasing fear. Some need to practice flexibility. Others need to quiet outside noise and reconnect with their own intuition.
Your result is simply an invitation to notice where your preparation may need more attention.
Begin with the guided birth-vision exercise and the Birth Begins Within mental rehearsal. Return to them throughout pregnancy and notice how your preparation continues to grow with you.
