a woman is her own best expert

"I preach to all who will listen that the best way to serve a woman during her pregnancy is to help her realize that she is her own authority and that a midwife or doctor or doula is only a paid consultant…a woman is her own best expert for her birth and her body knows exactly what to do if given the chance." ~Carla Hartley (From Midwifery today magazine)

A birth story by B.R.C.

An old friend and high school volleyball teammate graciously shared her birth story with her blog followers. It's a truly amazing recount of her perspective of the birth of her first baby. Check it out! http://bushbabycolvin.blogspot.com/2012/04/birth-story-2-weeks-post-delivery.html
