Birth & What Came After: Poems on Birth and Motherhood
Birth & What Came After: Poems on Birth and Motherhood | Jessica Bates
8 posts | 1 read
"The body forgets pain, she said. Otherwise women would only have one child. Is it true? Has my body forgotten?" Birth & motherhood transform us. They shake our foundation with sacred, unconditional love. These 56 poems reflect on birth, motherhood, breastfeeding, raising children, confronting fears, and feeling joy in a fleeting moment. A perfect gift for a new or seasoned mother, and also a great read for those of us who aren't mothers. Birth is universal; we all came from woman. Let's celebrate the power to give life.

One day his fingers will grow knobby, he will start to sag. I pray to the goddesses, the gods, the eggs, the clouds, the trees. I pray to the wind that he will grow old and die well. #birth #motherhood #poetry #breastfeeding #normalizebreastfeeding #birthwithoutfear #midwife #doula
