I Will Meet This Birth One Moment at a Time
Full Text
I do not have to control every detail in order to enter labor with courage. I can prepare wisely, communicate clearly, and adapt when circumstances change. My body deserves care, my concerns deserve to be heard, and I can ask for help. God will be with me in every moment, and I will receive the strength needed for each step.
