If you will be attending a blessingway, there are a few things you may want to do first:  Take a little time to prepare yourself.  This is a sacred time in a woman's life, and a blessingway ceremony is usually begun with reverence for the new life about to be born.  Take a nice shower.  Put on some different clothes.  Sit and pray/meditate.  Listen to some relaxing music.  Smudge yourself with cedar, lavender or frankincense.  Think about the births of your own children (if you have them) or other birth stories you have read.
