Birth Stories
At Mother Rising, we believe there is great merit in sharing birth stories with each other.
Why Share Birth Stories?
Knowledge and Inspiration
When we listen to others’ stories, we learn new things and become inspired, which changes the course of our lives for the better.
Healing
And when we share our stories, there is an immense potential for healing – mind and body.
Strength and Support
By listening and sharing, women give and receive strength and support from one another, which is so desperately needed in our isolated culture, especially post 2020.
Birth Stories @ Mother Rising
By publishing our collective stories, I envision Mother Rising to become a catalyst for women to receive strength, healing, inspiration, and knowledge. Your story needs to be heard. I’d love to publish your story on this website!
