How I did it
How to help women have better births through education and information (teaching them to trust their bodies and birth)! You are NOT defective! You CAN give birth and it CAN be beautiful, NOT scary!

It made me
glad it's over!

Faster is not necessarily better in matters of bodily function (baby making and baby birthing, for example). This birth tried me in ways I can't explain and I know I haven't done the story justice because I am still reeling from the experience. Here is my best recollection (after talking with Brandon and watching the vi… Read how I did it…
