I have three children and each one was born in a different state. Each time I prepared for birth I had to start my research from scratch and seek out the people who would support me through the birth I wanted.
I had one planned hospital birth and two planned home births. Midwives attended all three births and all three babies were born in water.
I’ll post more about my births another time.
It was so important to be surrounded by people and services that could help me put all of these pieces together. Here in Houston we have B.I.R.T.H. Their annual B.I.R.T.H fair is coming up on October 4th. It is a wonderful gathering of so many who are part of Natural Birth, Alternative Education Methods, and Natural Parenting. Check out their website and attend if you can. It is a free event and full of information!
