For example, some women will not be able to
read any birth stories for quite some time, and others will want to read every single post.
I'm happy to say that my experience of the birth met the expectations that I created for myself
through reading birth stories that vibe with that.
I always, always, always get choked up
when reading birth stories... giving birth is maybe the most amazing experience we as women are privileged to take part in, IMHO.
I've long been a fan of Ina May Gaskin, an internationally renowned midwife, author and speaker, and loved
reading the birth stories in her book Spiritual Midwifery.
Reading birth stories helped me to prepare for my first birth by giving me a sense of what I could expect, and what birthing women are capable of, but this time I'm reading them from a different place.
Ahh reading your birth story made me well up and think of my labour 3 months ago.The birthing pool is epic do nt you think I did nt get to actually have Kai in the pool we had a last minute dash to a bed because of complications.
For months (and sometimes even now) I could
n't read birth stories without feeling sad, disappointed, and even jealous of these other women achieving their drug - free vaginal births and VBACs.
By the time I was done... and exported it to a word file on my computer, it was ten pages long... After I finished writing it, the long nights didn't end, the sleep deprivation was high and patience was getting even lower, so I would
read his birth story over and over again on my Black berry at night.
One of my favorite things about bloggers with babies is reading their birth story!!

If
you read my birth story you would see that I prefaced the entire thing by saying it was the choice I made, but that I pass no judgement on anyone who has a different journey.
Ahh I love
reading birth stories and yours has made me so broody (my third is only 2 months old!!!).
And if you love
reading birth stories, here's Eliza's induction birth story and Florence's speedy second delivery birth story.
I watched birth videos and
read birth stories, but felt nothing still.
You can educate yourself by taking a comprehensive childbirth course,
read birth stories, and find informational and supportive books about the birth process.
I was then heavily encouraged by my lovely friend Emily (who I met originally through this blog —
read her birth story here — and now our sons are besties and in the same school class!)
