Birth Stories

Every birth story is different, but they all provide realistic insight that many pregnant people seek. Here you'll read about babies born in a hospital or birthing center (either vaginally or via C-section), home birth stories, and twin birth stories. You'll also read about people who chose epidural or drugs, as well as 'natural' birth stories from those who avoided pain medication. Reading through the collection of negative and positive birth stories will build confidence and reassurance for labor and delivery.
