My Birth Story - A 3 day labour

We all have an ingrained idea about what labour and birth is like; wether it’s what we’ve seen in movies, what we’ve read in books, or story after story we hear from friends, our mothers or other mothers.
Unfortunately in our culture birth has a high “shock” factor, and often we hear about the negativity: the pain, the endurance, the tears, the stitches. And for most of us (this was myself included), we generally resign ourself to quite an unpleasant experience - until the baby arrives of course.
It wasn’t until half way through my pregnancy, that for the very first time, I had a woman tell me that she absolutely loved her labour, this was fucking ground breaking!! I had never heard a positive word uttered about birthing until this moment, and that was the catalyst that sent me on a journey to have a positive, and even pleasurable, birth experience with my child.

​I vividly remember the day we decided to start trying for a baby. We’d been married a couple of years and had just faced some massive challenges and changes in our lives, and were ready to start the next chapter, with a baby.
I excitedly told my mum, and her words were “it will probably happen really quickly, you know that aye”, coming from a family of very fertile women!
I naively thought the same, like most women, thinking a month or so of actively trying would surely result in a pregnancy.
How wrong was I!

​I went to April to seek help with hormonal imbalances. I suffer from Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome and although I had been seeing a naturopath for 12-18 months, watched what and how much I ate, took all the supplements, and made lifestyle changes, I was still suffering from all the symptoms of PCOS including very irregular and painful periods, no energy, bad skin, weight problems, and ongoing thrush problems.....

I can imagine the disturbed look I would have had on my face when a friend of mine first suggested I try meditating daily, my perception of this practice back then definitely wasn't the positive view I have of it now.......

From spots to smooth in 7 days
So, 1 week ago my skin decided to play silly buggers; and I literally broke out in spots like a teenager in the throws of puberty!
I am not sure what exactly caused this reaction; wether it was dietary related, my skin reacting to something that had been used on my face, hormonal, or just my body cleansing as a result of some diet/lifestyle changes I had made recently. What I did know was that my body was trying to communicate something to me, and what it was communicating was: INFLAMMATION....
