But here are some words from mama Shawn, and then some from me. “It was a weird feeling giving birth to Onyx. working through the tormenting waves with the universe until bam! Baby is born and I am rushed a million miles an hour back to reality and back to the present... But Onyx is not here with me yet. Sucking the fluids from him was like sucking his soul into this world with me. Then he was here, and the post birth hormones and high began. I felt so much gratitude and relief that the universe gave Onyx to me. I felt powerful that I bought him into this world physically and spiritually. “ 🦋🦋🦋 You are exactly what your baby needs. Let me say it again: YOU ARE EXACTLY WHAT YOUR BABY NEEDS!! An undisturbed birthing animal knows instinctually in the deepest fiber of their cells what is happening with their baby and what their baby needs. Many people will see this video and think “oh god, why didn’t someone do something?? Make the baby breathe faster!” This is a potent lesson for us all: To sit on our hands and watch an animal mother work her irreplaceable instinctual magic that only she is capable of. To quietly observe, as the fear in our bodies and minds gyrates to find an escape, a solution, a savior. The fear that was instilled through the trauma of our own births in captivity. Through the incessant conditioning that tells you that the moment a baby is born is inherently an emergency, inherently dangerous. But you know what is **actually** dangerous??" ⬇️cont in comments⬇️
