“I had poured over the jewelry on the Satya website and had read about the different symbols…Ganesha, as you know, helps remove obstacles. I was diagnosed with complete Placenta Previa at 20 weeks. After that, every night I sent up little prayers to Ganesha to help move the placenta from the opening of the Cervix (I was trying to VBAC with this babe). At 36 weeks, the placenta had moved, and for the first time I understood the power of prayer! I purchased a Hamsa pendant towards the end of the pregnancy because I was trying to VBAC and I felt as if I needed all the protection from negativity that the universe could muster, and I wanted to be open to the blessings I would need in getting this child here safely. Lucas Hale Flynn was born successfully via VBAC at 42 weeks with the support of my incredible doula, husband and midwife. I have a picture of myself soon after giving birth and my Satya pendants (an Om, and the Hamsa) are clearly visible.”
