birthing statues?

[dmarina]

hi,
my therapist recommended a birthing statue, poster or something to focus on. i've looked at a bunch of doula/midwife websites, but i can't find anything that works. what have you ladies used? any ideas?

thanks

is this for the actual birth?

I saw a really neat print the other day. It was from a website someone linked to in my ddc. Let me see if I can find it.

here it is:

what do you think about it?

You could also try googling "birth art" or "birth sculpture"

I've got oodles. Try searching on Photobucket, I found most of mine on there. Search "birth goddess" or similar terms.

I have a cool pregnancy picture of me on the beach with the sunset behind me. I'm going to use that for my focal point.

I used this one as well. From transition on I gripped it in my hand until I gave birth.
