i got in the
shower & let the water meet my tears & something within me said - «this is the process sokhna, open to the process, open to the process»... that was the light... my mantra became «this is the process», & i returned to the bedroom... maria took my hands, looked me in the eyes & said «this is the process, sokhna...» i knew i was on my way... i rocked, squatted & allowed... maria checked me again & i was softening enough for maria to open the cervix the rest of the way... soon enough maria
had massaged the cervix completely open & she told me to push... when she said this i filled with brilliance - i wanted to push, i wanted to feel it, i wanted to see wayana... in just a few pushes wayana kamalah lioneye ra was born - i held her as she came out - i looked
at this little one & she looked
at me & i told her i was her mother... kayenn came over & i saw a
baby in him... this natural birth birthed my heart... i suddenly knew what kayenn needed, what i needed & what wayana
would need... the placenta came soon after & maria helped me to bed... i really just wanted to look
at my 2
babies - to stand over them & beam light, gratitude & promises of infinite love & support... i wanted a natural birth, i
had a natural birth & it continues to this day... i am writing my birth story on wayana's 15 month celebration...

would come apart - even though i
had to - i know now that coming apart is a part of the process... someplace in the middle of this birth i realized that i did not know how to do this - i was acting against the birth process - literally & emotionally... i
had a mental idea of what it should look, sound, smell, be like... after some hours maria checked me again, i
had been
at 9 cm for 4 hours... she said to me, «some
babies can come through
at 9 cm, but yours will not, sokhna... sokhna, you are going to
have to fight to bring this
baby out... go into the bathroom, get in the
shower & work it out... «so i did... i went in the cold bathroom alone & remembered every cold detail of kayenn's birth... i wondered if i could get to the hospital on time to
have an emergency c - section & i began to cry... & as i cried i
had to go to the bathroom - i sat on the toilet & the rushes came down like nothing i can explain - but they didn't hurt - it was just POWER!
