• Surprise! It’s Twins!

    Lindi shares with us the story of the birth of her twins. Surprise! It’s twins. With my first child I was pushed into an induction. First child; I had no idea. I’m a go-with-the-flow gal when it comes to labor. I was told my baby was very big and if I waited I might not be able to have a…

  • A VBAC Story

    Rita shares the story of her daughter’s birth – a healing VBAC. My first baby was born via cesarean section.

    Hi all! Our little guy’s due date was January 20th, 2016. Being first-time parents, my husband and I were SO anxious to meet our son.
