“This was from a bag that was given to me at the hospital after giving birth. At first glance I actually thought it was an alternative to the usual formula bag they give. Hah. Nope. It was a cute bag filled with a can of formula, coupons, a little freezer bag for breast milk storage (cool!). I feel like it…

Natural Water Birth Instead of Repeat Cesarean
“This is a picture of me and my 3rd daughter, Ailsa, just 2 minutes after she was born. Thank you for making the beautiful empowering birth of my daughter possible!

My Current Inspiration…Fear Is A Liar
“On some positions, cowardice asks the question, is it expedient? And then expedience comes along and asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular?

Home Water Birth, Baby Born In the Caul

Man could not have thought this up but only a great God with a divine design. It’s amazing and humbling to me to think that I’ve been…

Women’s Rights to Choose Being Stripped Away
Here’s the problem with this…it TAKES AWAY WOMEN’S CHOICES. Our right to birth where and how we choose is being stripped away from us…here and now. I have a HUGE problem with this. I actually birthed my first VBA2C baby in AZ, so I am all too familiar with the issue this causes. This leaves women to birth in unfriendly…
