When It Comes to Childbirth, Women Need Choices, Not Judgement
Childbirth is both beautiful and unpredictable. It’s awe-inspiring, quite literally messy and sometimes traumatic. While aiming for a natural birth might be ideal, we should approach birth with realism and grace for when things don’t go how we plan. After all, mama and baby are much more important than the way they first locked eyes.

Women love birth stories. We love to hear how what seems like one body becomes, within a matter of hours, two, through the crazy and beautiful process of childbirth. It’s no surprise then that when we’re preparing for a birth of our own, especially our first, that we so eagerly seek out other women’s stories and advice. Through them we learn about different choices we can make when it comes to our own stories.
