		<description><![CDATA[The decision to deliver at home followed a few interesting events. The biggest being that the hospital and doctor had some “serious” concerns about my birth plan where they felt many of the wishes listed would jeopardize the safety and health of the baby. I am not sure how an all natural birth with no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was an easy labor.  Easy, because I welcomed the ebb and flow of the contractions.  I  thought of how in yoga I breath deeper into each stretch with a long exhale and did this with the peak of each contraction.  I also found counting helped remind me how long I had to put up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m writing this down for all of you and for my own record as well. I’m EXTREMELY thankful to report that this birth story should be significantly shorter than Levi’s. From beginning to end I was only in labor with Brock for 2.5 hours. AWESOME! If you remember, I was in labor for 2.5 days [...]]]></description>

Cole Andrew Blastic 3/11/07 at home
 When I became pregnant with our third child, I actually considered just going to our local hospital for a c-section because of the awful experience I had with the recovery after my second birth, a VBAC. But then I remembered that the recovery after the C-section wasn’t very enjoyable [...]]]></description>

 Elizabeth Sandoval    Birth Story
My first pregnancy ended as a cesarean and a total nightmare. It was the extreme opposite of what I had wanted: minimal intervention, liberty to move, continued consumption of liquids, and family participation. For my second delivery, therefore, I wanted to do all that was possible to have more control [...]]]></description>

Something I wrote a couple of years ago after a home VBAC&#8230;..



Yesterday I was a midwife more than a baby catcher. Some think that the 2 are always the same, but I know that they are not. Most of the time I catch a baby as the mother pushes him out into my hands. My [...]]]></description>

The Birth of Amy Rose
On April 7th, I woke up at 11pm, after half an hour of sleep, to my first real contraction. Knowing the most important thing I could do in early labor was rest, I tried to go back to sleep. I was able to doze but contractions were every 10-20 minutes, and [...]]]></description>
