Thank you for supplying some honest information on this topic. I have sought out a wide variety of honest suggestions about natural health and some not-so-good information. Do you have any more honest suggestions or places on the Internet that I can find more detailed information? This would be very much appreciated! Either way, continue the good work!

thankyou for sharing your story. I have researched so much about having my natural birth (any time now), but nothing compares to simply hearing someone’s story. it really helped ease my mind.

What an absolutely awesome birth story! I love how your husband said that the doctor was short and that he could manage on the floor! So hilarious! I know exactly what you mean about waiting for the contraction towards the end of the 2nd stage… I was pushing non stop once he crowned… thus, I had a 2nd degree tear, but you live and learn.

I loooooove reading birth stories, especially after giving birth naturally, and yours is a total blessing I just love your humor! Congratulations!

Wonderful birth story.

For me, my 3rd was very empowering as I’d learned to trust my body and not worry what the “professionals” thought. I also learned to be polite but assertive(no thank you for the IV). My 3rd child was born even before the midwife arrived at the hospital…I had to push and even though they were screaming STOP!(right, like I could STOP even if I wanted to) I just did what I had to do.

I’m proud of you for having your baby YOUR way. Kudos and congrats.

I loved your birth story, Beth. You have me laughing and crying while I was reading it. Getting to know you and Josh these past 12 weeks I was so happy to hear how successful everything was for you. You really did an amazing job! Way to stand your ground at the hospital. I’m wussing out and have officially decided to have a home birth. I’ll definitely have to keep you updated.

I’m so happy for you and Josh with your new little guy. Congrats to little Levi for having such great parents!!!

That was a wonderful story. I am so glad you had a good birth experience. Isn’t it nice to be able to have a baby and feel completely in control, and when you get to the other side you can look back and feel wonderful about it? Good luck to your new family!
