Did you know that you have options for comfort and pain management that strike a balance between “all-natural” and an epidural? If you haven’t heard of nitrous oxide, ask your midwife, doctor, or care provider about it. Women say that it takes the edge off the pain of contractions and makes labor a lot more manageable.
Dear Little One,
In the beginning of our family, when you were still in God’s mind, there was a man who loved a woman. When he finally found her in the middle of a snowstorm, he knew her immediately as the mother of all his future memories….
After a swift labor, a baby girl named Finley was born at home in the water surrounded by her mom, dad, older sister, and grandmother.
An intense labor, this strong mama dreamed of a home birth to her second daughter and after laboring in the water, she delivered her baby in the bedroom of their home.
The greatest joy doesn’t come without the greatest struggle… There were a multitude of things that were different between my first and second sons and the way in which they came into this world.
