Pregnancy is a special time in a woman's life.
She may alternate between joy and fear, wonder and anxiety. It may
be difficult to wade through all the information and unsolicited advice
about what's best for her and for her baby. During a time when she
is most sensitive to input from others, she may be bombarded with
conflicting information.
Birth is the final transition in the journey from an individual person
to Mother, who will forever live with a piece of her heart outside of
herself. Each birth is unique, and each baby has only one
opportunity to make a peaceful, joyous entrance into the world outside
of her mother's womb.
Birth is the end of one phase of a woman's life, and the beginning of
another. It is our honor at Baby Steps to offer mothers and
fathers the information and tools they need to make the decisions that
are best for their families.
