Ultimately, Minaberry, who has five kids and was “team green” for her fourth, reminds parents to lean in to all of the emotions that come with the experience. “Embrace it fully. Hold tight to that excitement, and know it’s going to make the birth moment that much more unforgettable,” she said.
“It’s natural to feel a mix of emotions. Some days you might love the mystery, and other days you might feel like you’re missing a connection. When that happens, try focusing on the bigger picture of your birth journey. It’s a special experience that’s all your own, and staying in the moment can make it feel even more meaningful.”
