| Baby’s choice |
By:

If you believe in life after death, is it not also possible that there was life before birth? And if so, can a soul choose when and where to be born or re-born into a physical form?
In asking that question, we are opening up a big philosophical can of worms. Religions and scientific bodies all have different opinions on what they believe happens to us in the process of being conceived, and these arguments have wider reaching social ramifications, as they affect laws concerning abortion and the ethics of scientific research using the human embryo, among other things. In this article, I don’t really want to get bogged down in those arguments. I can only write based on my own beliefs, which have been formed by my experiences. Being a medium, and therefore being able to communicate with people who are no longer in a physical body, it is my understanding that we live many times in different bodies. Each lifetime gives us the opportunity to grow spiritually through the lessons we learn in life. That to me is the meaning of life. We are here to learn as much as possible; from the people in our lives and the challenges we face. Each lifetime brings different challenges depending on the circumstances we are born into. I believe we have some degree of choice, based on what we need to learn most in our next lifetime.
With this in mind, I believe a baby chooses the parents from which it can learn the most.
So what makes us a good choice for a person to start the new life with?
And with this information, why did we choose our parents?
Unlike an adoption agency whose sole concern is placing a child in a loving home, a spirit waiting to be reborn may want the challenges that a parent may have to offer in order for us to grow, both positive and negative.
Also the child may have as much to teach as to learn, and may choose parents that they can teach and help along in life. That may be the reason why a child could be born with special needs like Downs Syndrome. In those circumstances, both child and parent are learning from each other.
Sometimes all a spirit needs to learn is to be conceived. I find this idea very comforting, particularly in cases where a child is miscarried. It may be hard to understand and even harder to bear, but perhaps parents and child both learn something important.
When giving readings I see the spirits of the family members. I have quite often said to a client that they are one of three children, and been told that they are one of two, only to find out later that a sibling had been lost from the womb. That spirit can still stay with the family and help them from the other side. Often they are there for birthdays and special occasions and well as distressing times to give comfort. Where ever possible I feel it is important to acknowledge that person as still being around. They find the most amazing ways of making their presence felt when you do; after all who wants to be ignored?
A child that has crossed over will show itself to me as a child, or I will have an impression of it as a baby. But it is also clear to me that it is in its spiritual sense on the other side, which is just like an energy form.
Sometimes that spirit can be born back to the same parents if lost at birth or in the womb. So more than one miscarriage could be the same spirit and not many spirit babies “lost”. This has been proven to me that when a client sat before me, I said to her that I see a baby Boy around her, but I don’t see her with a baby. She told me she had just had a miscarriage late into the pregnancy.
The spirit wanted to let her know that she had not ‘Lost’ her baby, as these were the words being repeated in her head. But that he would be born to her again at a later time. Even though she had not known the sex of her baby, she had felt sure it was a boy.
I remember my mother telling me of a man she was once engaged to, one of those ‘what if’ conversations, she said ‘just think, if I had married him, you would have been living on a farm’. I remember telling her that I wouldn’t have existed and that it would be a different child. She said ‘No you would have always been my child’. I found that very reassuring.
As women carry the baby it is easy to feel the spirit of the baby would always be connected to us. Though Mediumship I have found this is not always the case.
So maybe as spirits we can draw the two parents together at the right time for us.
This raises a few questions in regards to the ethics of test tube babies, human cloning etc., but again if the spirit can learn something from this experience, who to say there isn’t a form of spiritual evolution. This may make it possible for cloning and other scientific advances involving the human embryo to be considered socially acceptable. I believe spirit power is infinite. So it is possible we could use a cloned body as a vehicle for learning.
So, armed with this understanding, how do we know when it is the right time to have a baby? These days we have more control over when and how we get pregnant, and most would agree that a stable loving home, financial security and a solid relationship between the child’s prospective parents would be high on the list of priorities. But sometimes a baby comes along when we least expect it, and feel least prepared for it.
We may not think we are ready, but maybe the baby does. So maybe no matter how much control we gain over our bodies through contraception, the choice isn’t always ours alone.
Mother Nature isn’t stupid. Many women find themselves at their sexual peak in their thirties. Maybe this is Evolution’s way of making us broody.
With all this information we can see the lessons gained from our own parents. Maybe even begin to glean an insight into why we chose them and what it is we came back to learn from this life time in this body.
I for one will always be grateful for the time I had growing up. Not all of the lessons were easy, learning to walk and talk were perhaps some of the simplest.
As for me now, a women in my thirties, with the vague awareness that the biological clock is ticking, I have let go a little of the responsibility of having a child. That way I take the pressure off my relationships as to whether the person I am with is ‘the one’ and trust that it is all unfolding as it should. And at this point as I write I just really want a Dog. Maybe Dogs have this power too!
