From Womb to World is a collection of Birth Stories. Each story was written by the birthing mother as a reflection of her birth experience. I hope that these stories will help expectant women gain more insight about the birthing process and have a chance to see that each birth is special and must be celebrated. I also hope that the process of sharing their own birth stories will help women who may not be happy with their birth experience, to heal and move forward. This blog is a celebration of life and is dedicated to all mothers and babies.

Chrissy and Rylan

On Thursday January 12th at 9:30 a.m., my water broke. I was in the laundry room putting clothes into the dryer. I wasn’t completely sure, but I knew I hadn’t involuntarily peed my pants. A few minutes later, I felt a smaller burst, then I decided to go sit down and read my pregnancy boo...

Rachel and Evan

Prologue: Some background, my first was an attempted homebirth, but ended up with a hospital transfer because she was asynclitic and posterior and I just couldn’t get her out. She was a c-section, 8lbs, 14oz, after around 50 hours of labor. Next baby was a successful homebirth. He had shoulder...

Erin and Hazel (with wonderful C-Section tips!)

Hazel June was born at 38.5 weeks on Tuesday, September 27, via c-section. She weighed in at 6 lbs 4 oz and was 19 inches long. A c-section was required because she was breeched and my amniotic fluid was low. Hazel is doing amazingly well with her adoptive family, and her 14 month old sister [...]

Amanda and Ryan

Tuesday August 30th, the day before our due date my friend Vanessa invited us to a Mariner game. I was joking with her that we would be in labor on the way home from the game that night. We arrived home and got into bed. Ryan was feeling my belly and Benjamin’s kicks when I [...]

Krista and Hanna

My husband and I welcomed our baby girl, Hanna Linnéa on 8-9-11, one day ahead of her due date. We had a regular check-up with our OB that morning and I had been experiencing mild contractions, about 15-20 minutes apart since 5AM. At our appointment, we had our OB ¨sweep the membranes’ as I wa...

Danielle and Lainey

Lainey finally arrived on Thursday, July 7th at 8:58 pm. She was 8 lbs, 2 oz and 21 inches long. I’d been having contractions off and on every day since mid-June, so we were ready even though she wasn’t due until the 9th! My water started to leak on Tuesday around noon, and fully broke [...

Laura and Charlotte

Charlotte was born on Wednesday May 12, 2011 at 10:10 a.m. It’s hard to tell the story of her birth without saying that we, my husband Trent and I, had hoped for a natural birth laboring at home as long as possible. Charlotte, apparently, had other ideas. At 41 weeks, an ultra sound showed low [...]

May and Nicholas

My last yoga class was at 37 weeks because right around 38 weeks I started to get really uncomfortable. My back was continually hurting and it was painful to walk, sit, or move even (I ended up stopping work at 39 weeks). The midwife said this was due to the baby being very low (zero [...]

Amber and Milo

On March 15th, I had decided to officially start my maternity leave (baby or no baby) so that I could fully relax and prepare for the birth. For the first time in my life, I went to the movies by myself and really enjoyed it, managing to see two films in the theater before I [...]

Eve and Aria

I passed my due date (March 4) with a sense of incredulity and frustration, and then made peace with the fact that the baby was going to wait for my mother to arrive on Monday the 7th (she was supposed to be there a few days after the birth. Look how well I planned!) Monday [...]
