• An Inspiring Natural {Hospital} Birth

    A Birth Story. Warning: It May Take You Longer To Read This Than It Did For Me To Give Birth These are the facts you should know about me: I have had four children.  My first birth, a daughter, happened a month after my seventeenth birthday.  It was a hospital birth and while not a bad experience, not a great…

  • The Birth Story {PART 2}

    {Read Part 1 Here} We headed for home anxious, excited, tired, and hungry. Because it was 10:30 now and we still had not eaten, we decided to stop at Sonic. Although it wasn’t the healthiest course of action, it was right off the interstate. We live in the country, it was honestly the last option before the boonies. I distinctly…

  • Living Your Birth Story {PART 1}

    Like all other births, this story begins far before the actual birth day.

  • A Healing Birth {Learning To Trust My Body}

    A good way to start any story is with a little background. So I will start by telling a brief story of the birth of my first and hospital experience.

  • Natural Hospital Birth {Support is Essential}

    OK, I have to be honest.  Writing this is hard for me.  For some reason, I don’t want to write it.  Like I’m dreading it?  I think there are just too many things about it to write down so I know it’ll take me forever…?  I have no idea.  But here’s my attempt.  I definitely want it documented. I have…

  • Giving Birth is a Journey

    Three years ago I had my first baby girl naturally at 35 weeks pregnant, she was breech a week before but due to a small car accident the shock turned her, she was not harmed and neither was I, but apparently she couldn’t wait any longer. During delivery I suffered a 3rd degree tear that needed to be stitched in…
