For a collection of BIRTH STORIES, please visit here. There are stories of medicated and unmedicated births, unplanned cesareans, VBAC's, homebirths, hospital births, birth center births, waterbirths, large babies, and more!  From a first birth to a fourth, these are real stories of women's birth experiences, told by the women themselves. Thanks to all who have shared already!  Others learn so much from hearing all the variations of labor and birth.  It is encouraging to read and hear other women's stories of birth - it builds a sense of community that we are sometimes missing in our 'real' lives since most of what we hear and see of birth from other women nowadays is on t.v. or negative, scary, dramatic events people like to share sometimes.  If you'd like to share your birth story on my page, please "like" my FB page and share away - just notify me so that I can post a link for the newest story being shared.  If you are not on FB, email me your story and I will post it for you.  :)

For a collection of stories specifically about changing care providers, visit here. Some women find that they get to a certain point in pregnancy and realize they are not totally comfortable with either their care providers or their place of birth, yet do not know what to do about it.  Many women stay put - for all different reasons.  Yet, some women see red flags during an office visit or while asking questions during a hospital tour and they decide to make a change that they become forever happy about.  Some women just follow their intuition and go along their journey in all different manners.  It's important to Choose Carefully, and here are some stories of women who did.
