Mothers Prayer for the womb
Every woman feels this desire to have their womb filled at
some point in life. Many say it’s your biological clock. We desire to marry the
perfect man for us who will be this great companion and parenting team with you
as you raise your beautiful baby. You get the husband and you adore him. Now
your pregnant and it is all gravy from there so you think, right?
I connected with this Mom on a different level. It was so
many similarities in our journey of conception and pregnancy. It was funny. In
the birth community, you here many say every pregnant woman isn’t meant to be
your client. I have been so blessed to meet my ideal Beautiful Momma. I was
told If she doesn’t connect with you then she isn’t the client for you. As a doula,
we give so much of ourselves during the time we are serving and supporting. Every
momma doesn’t respect it or appreciate it. This Mom wasn’t just pregnant with a
pulse she was one I surly connected with. I will never forget receiving her email. It was so confident. I replied and
knew this would be a family that would leave a mark.
I arrived for the first meeting at her home and it was like
we met before. She was full of energy and laughter. I could tell this was a
woman who was going to have a lot knowledge. She didn’t disappoint. We chat and
immediately she displayed type A characteristics as her lovely friend who I
also supported. These were the most fun and pleasant type A women I have ever
met before.
This beautiful Momma was all about being prepared for
everything.

After explaining to this Beautiful Mommy to let go and let
God breath and continue to do your normal scriptural meditations we knew we
would work well together.
Though this momma was
reluctant to release some things we laughed and parted ways. I was glad to
receive my updates on the progress she made after our meeting.
I finally had the pleasure to meet her husband the better
half who was so cool and laid back. I have noticed a pattern of the Mommies I
have supported. The husbands are always very mellow. This daddy was so cool,
supportive and ready to keep Mommy on task by not becoming to tasked oriented. Our
meeting was both informative and full of laughs. Mr. J made sure he assured me understood everything. He was funny as Mom and I are having a conversation about Birth plan, what relaxes her, how does she mentally prepare and what comfort measures she think will work for her. Dad find himself looking up peritoneal massage and all of the topics we discussed. I check in with Dad to make sure he understood everything. Dad says" if I don't get it I'll youtube it". "Everything is on youtube". We collectively laugh. I also mention to him everything on the internet isn't correct. I head out and remind mom to relax and don't over think anything.
Momma had made it to 6 months and Mommy and baby had been
going well. No complication for either. We met over the weekend and she filled
me in on all her milestones and excitement about how she is feeling baby and
getting mentally prepared.
While finishing up my final birth till August sleeping like
a doula with no births anytime soon my phone rings and I hear a voice I wasn’t prepared
for. “She is here with me and having contractions. I jump up and start to pray.
I met them at Evanston Hospital. This family rallied quick. Everyone full of
positive energy and prayers. This Beautiful Momma was blessing with a solid
rock of a husband. Mr. K.J. was everything she needed and more in this time.
Momma and baby make first milestone recovering from surgery. Baby is with NICU
and Mom is recovering. After all the excitement and rush this Momma was in good
spirits. I ensure her baby is in the best hands. She sends updates to
employers, family and friend. I must stop her from sending updates. No computer,
no phone till you are through the day. This Beautiful Momma is trying to focus
her energy on something else other than worrying. We pray about peace, comfort,
healing and staff sharp and keen response. I make sure family is ok and understand
what is going on.
The family is so full of love of the Lord, positive energy
and hope. This Baby Boy has a tone of people petitioning the Lord for miracles.
To date Baby Boy J is reaching many milestones as Mom and Dad continue to grow
in faith, love and relationship. Again, this family has such a special place in
my heart. I will continue to petition the Lord for their strength as they
continue to make many milestones.
