Homebirth Stories – Eden’s Birth Part I (For another version of this story click here.)
Two nights before my due date, I was having contractions and they were coming close, but I knew it wasn’t labor. However, my whole pregnancy I had been worried that the midwife would not make it to my [...]
I wanted to have a waterbirth for my son’s birth, but I guess it wasn’t in the cards. THIS time around, I was determined to make it happen. To find a birth pool I googled Barbara Harper, the waterbirth genius of the planet and author of Gentle [...]

Call me smart or just OCD, but today I sent out a letter to the people attending my birth that aren’t medically involved (aka birth witnesses). I am totally stoked to have a homebirth and that I get to have these special people witness our daughter’s birth, but at the same time I [...]
My house is still under construction, and under normal circumstances I would be getting my homebirth supplies together, but instead I’m focusing on minimizing chaos while my bedroom ceiling is replaced. I love organizing and planning, so I thought I’d write out this blog post about all the stuff I need to get [...]
