Another favorite pregnancy read of mine is “Gentle Birth Choices” A Guide to Making Informed Decisions About: *Birthing Centers *Birth Attendants *Water Birth *Home Birth *Hospital Birth, by Barbara Harper, R.N.
Amongst other things is included a beautiful prayer that can be used when labor starts or during labor that I’ve recorded and uploaded to my MP3 player so I can listen to it when labor starts.
As I quietly sit with you, my child, here inside of me,
I ask God to hold your hand and guide you in your journey.
You shall come to me in innocence and love.
I accept this gift and I am thankful for it.
I ask that I be made strong, and loving and that I be a good parent.
It’s time to say good-bye to my pregnant body and open to receive the
fullness of your love.
May your life always be filled with light.
Amen
