Calling all birth stories!
At the urging of some lovely friends, this is a call for YOU to submit your birth story for inclusion in my journal. Please keep private any personal information you wish to remain private. This can include doctor/nurse/midwife/doula names, your name, your husband's name, your child's name, birthdate, sex, weight, etc. I will likely post stories as-is unless significant editing needs to be done for space, brevity, language, etc. If I do any editing to your story, I will send it back to you for approval before posting it here.
I want:
- Positive stories
- Negative stories
- Home birth stories
- Hospital stories
- Midwife stories
- Doctor stories
- Vaginal birth stories
- Cesarean birth stories
- Multiples birth stories
- Singleton birth stories
- New stories
- Old stories
- And everything I've forgotten to list!
My hope is to create a collection of real-life birth stories, by women for women. Women today don't have an accurate picture of what birth is really like. We see "birth" on tv, in movies, even TLC's A Birth Story is a Hollywood edited version of birth. Real birth is messy, unpredictable, predictable, emotional, incredible, difficult, and beautiful, all at the same time. Let's tell it like it is ladies!
