"We have a secret in our culture, and it's not that birth is painful. It's that women are strong." - Laura Stavoe Harm
TATUM: (June 2006) Tatum was born at Delaware County Memorial Hospital with a Certified Nurse Midwife, a doula, and her husband at just about 36 wks after a very long and exhausting labor. He weighed 4’13”.
KEEGAN: (March 2009) Keegan was born at home in the water with two Certified Professional Midwives, an apprentice, her husband, and her 2 yo sleeping in the room next to her at exactly 39 weeks, weighing 7 lbs.
She had two very different pregnancies and births, but she is so happy for both experiences because they led her on her journey to becoming a doula, childbirth educator, La Leche League leader, and advocate for women and babies.
