During Advent 2019, I (Erin here!) rolled out a really fun project on each Enneagram Type’s perspective on labor and postpartum. I’ve been digging into the wisdom of the Enneagram since at least 2011 and am a giant nerd about it. As I’ve waded into proper birth work, I’ve become curious if certain types make similar choices in labor or face similar struggles or barriers based on their personality. I reached out to the most inspiring community of women I know: the moms I am connected to through my work with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. They shared their birth stories with me and reflections on how their Enneagram type manifested itself in their journeys. The result are nine Enneagram Labor Guides that I am super proud of. I hope to print these into a cute little book and use them with couples in prenatal sessions. Do you know the Enneagram? What’s your type and how did it (or do you anticipate it) impact your birth?
