Pregnancy and recovery are a time of huge emotional swings. The variety and pace of the shift in emotions can be scary. By scary I mean unfamiliar.
Up until this point we may not have experienced the rush and waves of emotion. Any emotional changes during menstruation are just a preview of what a woman can experience when with child or postpartum. But, looking at the waves of emotions as something simply unfamiliar to us allows us to be in them differently.

Pregnancy is as much a physical as well as a spiritual experience. There is a lot of trust and many unknowns to sort through. The Book of Questions, a section of your journal pages, helps you do this.
In the Book of Questions you write down questions you have - practical questions as well as spiritual questions. Here is a sample excerpt from my Book of Questions to help you understand. Will my labor be fast? Should I get my hair done before labor? Did I choose the right birthing coach? Will I know what to do? Is Jacob the right name? Will I want to go back to work? As you see the questions can be various and there is no need for an answer. In forming the question, I am opening up myself to receive the answer and I am offering a type of prayer to receive the answer. As your pregnancy progresses, you will be shocked how the answers will come naturally and with ease. |
