Welcome to my blog, my homepage and my universe!
To me, creating a baby is a miracle! The physical and emotional changes are powerful, and they demand a great deal of letting go of control, preparing and searching information, selecting and making choices. At every birth, not only the baby is born, but its parents transition into parenthood. In this process, I see myself as your go-to specialist, for advice and information, networking and development. You are fully in charge of your own process and choices surrounding your pregnancy – and I can provide you with the relevant information, for you to make the best choice for your family.
To me, there are no short-cuts. You can’t have a baby in your lunch break. And you can’t take all the unimportant stuff away. Because you really don’t know what will be important until afterwards. And that is the good news! Finally, a part of life where it is legitimate to really slow down, listen to stories from other women, feeling your feelings and sharing emotions. Because I am a firm believer, that pregnancy and motherhood should be shared. Shared with your partner, your family and friends. Of course, it is also intimate and private, but transitioning into this great, scary, lovely part of life, demands input and sharing, and makes the experience so much more rewarding. So feel free to share! Share your stories, your thoughts, your intuitions. Because here, they are legitimate.
Of course, I am not trying to say, that science, and hard facts are unimportant. They definitely have a very important role, and in every choice you will make, you will have to inform yourself of facts of many kinds. What I am humbly suggesting, is to let you heart and gut feeling get a little more space, and credit, than in other parts of life.
I have been told, that we are now living in the post factual time era. Post factual age – the age after facts: we are now past the age of minding facts, it is said. This is because it has been correctly observed, that we do no longer blindly obey the priest, the doctor, the boss’ words. We are more skeptical to the authorities and want to understand the facts ourselves.
To me, that is not living in the post factual age. That is living in the age where we really mind the facts, try to internalize them and make them our own. Because we do not lend reality from the research scientist. We do not have to apologize for putting facts into context – our context. No, on the contrary – the researcher lends pieces of reality for scrutinity, and then gives us this piece back.
So, feel free to build your own post-factual castle of facts, with every brick of knowledge put in place by the best entrepreneur for your life – you! And share it with the rest of us – because the life in a castle gets lonely, no matter how marvelous it is, if you don’t!
