Happy Labor Day – Sharing My Birth Stories

Amy of Amy’s Finer Things is hosting a link up of birth stories in honor of Labor Day. Cute idea, huh?
After both girls were born, I wrote their birth stories. Check them out below:
Julia Mabel – Born in November 2007, and I really had no clue what to expect from labor. Which might have been a good thing.
Hannah Michelle – Born in June 2009. I thought with Hannah that things were going to go smoother, faster and that I was going to handle it like a pro. Well, I didn’t.
In some ways, I have worn “going natural” like a badge of honor when it comes to the girls’ birth stories. And I really do think it is something I am very proud of {and should be proud of}. However, I have realized that all women who give birth deserve metals. It’s no easy task, watching your body morph over 9+ months and then being thrust into mamahood. The labor part is different for everyone {and every child}, but it is a beautiful experience to behold.
My hats off to you mamas out there! Celebrate your Labor Day!

Sarah, with only 10wks away to give birth to baby #3 I SO enjoyed reading this! thank you. my fear of needing to push and not being able to is actually my greatest fear for baby #3. I felt it w/Darton once I got to a 7 (when is when we arrived at the hospital) and I received an epidural at that pt b/c I just gave up. There’s no drug dependence this time though since we are having #3 at a midwife clinic! needless to say I’ve been doing lots of reading on preparing myself and getting to know my body.
