Who doesn't love a birth story?! I think this stuff needs to be talked about more.  Women don't often get to hear about what happens - the highs and the lows. We are left wondering at best and fearful at worst. I loved listening to birth stories when I was pregnant, and it feels good to reflect on such a transformative experience in my life. I hope my positive (positive because I felt informed and in control of my decisions - not because it was perfect or went to plan!) birth story is helpful for you - whatever your reason for listening.
