    Santa visited us a little early to drop off the only item we asked for this Christmas: our daughter Julia Lynn.
    She was due January 4, but made her appearance exactly two weeks early. Dave’s parents and brother had arrived from Dallas that morning, and we spent the [...]

    My fourth pregnancy was a planned home birth baby, however things didn’t go as expected. By 37 weeks, my midwife noticed something wrong as the growth pattern of my uterus was off - it jumped enormously in just a couple of weeks.

    I have to second Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth. The stories in there were so much fun! There are some things that might make ya say, “What?!” but take it with a grain of salt. Either way, I really think it helped me a lot.
    I used a birthing center [...]

    I have one child and had a fairly easy and uneventful birth experience.  I had contractions Saturday night in the middle of the night. About the time I was going to go into the hospital they stopped. The next day (Sunday) I had contractions on and off. We had a big [...]

    Four Babies, Four Births

    Submitted by Crystal
     
    This is a subject near and dear to my heart (I have four children), so I can briefly share some of my birthing experiences. My first one was 16 years ago - I was young and didn’t do much research, just kind of went along for the ride - but it was a [...]
