Hey sweet ones,

I used to be a midwife. Oh, that was an amazing experience. What an honor it was to be there in the presence of someone making their entrance into the world. It was mind blowing, every single time. I never got tired of it.

I've also had seven children of my own. I loved being pregnant, and the Earth Mother in me totally was into natural childbirth. Five of my children were born at home, where babies have been welcomed for zillions of years.

As I'm getting into the meat of the Save Your Life manual, I can see strong parallels between both midwifery and labor, and the entire Incurables Program. When you get pregnant, you grow the baby inside for nine months. You do everything possible to provide the best nutrition for the baby. You set up your nursery. You clean the house like you've never cleaned it before. You exercise. You read, read, read. You get fabulous prenatal care. You watch your weight, your blood pressure, your protein and Sugar in your urine. You get the stress out of your life so the baby will be a calm one.

Finally you go into labor. When it's your first baby, you are scared. You have heard the horror stories. The media doesn't help, does it? It's hard to relax. You need a lot of coaching from your midwife. Your husband, if he's a good one and not a jerk (I've had to throw some out), is 100% there for you. You ride the wave of each contraction. You learn how to work with the contractions. With every stage of labor, you work with what your body is doing in the present moment. You stay grounded, knowing that there is an amazing outcome waiting for you in just a few hours.

You transition. It's messy. You might cry. You're tired. You just want the baby OUT! Finally you get that incredible urge to push. Maybe this makes you vomit. Hurray! It opens you right up! You push involuntarily. These incredible moans escape your mouth. Where did this strength come from? That's the true power and strength of a woman, that's what that is. Your midwives and husband are right there with you, coaching you, touching you to keep you grounded and open. But YOU are doing the work. Only YOU can give birth to this child.

The intensity at crowning... I doubt there IS anything more intense. You scream with the most intense scream known to man, with your first baby. But within seconds, your baby is before your eyes and gives his first hearty cry. You'd do it again in a heartbeat.

With your second baby, you know what's coming. You are better prepared. You survived having a baby, and you look forward to having this one. In labor, you say "I remember these!" After the birth, you compare this labor with the last one, and the nature of this baby to his brother.

Then for the rest of your babies, you know how to work with the contractions. You welcome them. You actually make them more intense, not holding anything back. Your body knows what to do, and you let it do the work it has been designed to do- giving life to another person. Your labors are usually shorter, and definitely easier. I can't remember having any pain during my labors for babies 5, 6, and 7.

The Incurables Program is the same way. In about nine months, you'll be well. But the ride can be pretty intense at times. If you embrace the intensity, instead of wimping out, the end result will be amazing. Of all of the women I assisted with the births of their children, only two wimped out and went the hospital route. The rest of them were incredibly strong women, full of character and dignity. The spiritual experience of going through this with these women was mind-blowing.

I was scared to do the Cold Sheet Treatment my first time. I only did it once when I did the IP the first time, and I didn't do it all the second time because I didn't have anybody to help me. I am learning now that because I didn't do the IP full blast last time, I didn't receive a complete healing.

You've got to do it with everything you've got. You've got to have that Mark Phelps "one gold just won't do it for me" attitude. If something is listed on the Incurables Party to do list, you've got to do it. With gusto. Period, the end. Everything works together. If there's a way to be tougher on yourself, be tougher.

The doctors told FSH dystrophy thriver Ryan Levinson he could exercise, but "don't overdo it." Ryan answered, "Define overdo."

Love y'all! Muah!

Donna
