As we are doing a shared blog, for simplicity's sake when Alice shares it will say 'Alice' in front, and when Brett shares it will say...er...'Brett'. Excuse me for pointing out the obvious...pregnancy non linear brain just making sure...
Alice: It is my intention here to share deeply, openly, and intimately, my experience of love, conception, pregnancy, birth and parenting from a woman's perspective, when approached with conscious awareness. I am so grateful to be deeply connected with Brett in this journey, particularly after my previous experience of being with someone so disconnected. It excites me to be with such a wonderful man who is fully embracing this journey as much as I am!
When Brett and I first got together, I had an overwhelming feeling of new life wanting to come into our lives...it seemed irrational yet I rationalised that it must be a natural biological response to being so loved up! It seemed a little premature to be considering having a baby with someone I just met, especially with my deep commitment to parenting being done in full loving consciousness. There was such a deep feeling of connection and alignment that I knew Brett and I were in for an amazing journey together and a deeper part of me was connected to the extreme likelihood of us eventually having a baby together, and I was trusting our journey to unfold naturally in its own time.
It didn't take me long to share this with Brett, in alignment with our original intention to be transparent and share openly with each other. It was early days and I wasn't suprised to hear a bit of hesitation from Brett. Then after some time and connecting more deeply in a space of love together, we both came to embrace the feeling of a soul coming into our lives, and I will continue to share more about the next part shortly...and for now here's Brett...

Brett: I am really excited to share my experience with pregnancy and birth from a masculine perspective. There are some really wonderful insights that I have discovered for myself already about what it means to be a man relating with a pregnant partner, and I am really enjoying the journey.
Some of the keys Alice and I share in co-creating a bliss-filled space of love are alignment of values and sense of life purpose. Some of the core values are in a new paradigm of relationship that include freedom to be ourselves (shadow and all), conscious sexual polarity, transparency and unconditional love. It does not sound like such a new paradigm on the surface of these words until these values are experienced in their subtle richness. Our life together has been an experience of deep intimacy and ease with these shared values in place. I trust more will be revealed in this blog about what I am meaning here and the importance to the pregnancy and birthing journey. .
I am going to back track a little to pre-conception to begin. I made an unwitting agreement with myself after my second child was born I would not have any more children. This was not clear to me initially only that I had some resistance. After taking Alice out to a wilderness cabin for some intimate shamanic healing work, this became to clear to me and under that there was no resistance. I began living without the unwitting agreement I had made and began a shared growing sense of a soul wanting to come into our lives.
