Your baby's labor and delivery is like no other in the world. Let others know what your experience was like.

• Second Boy – No Drugs Again
  After having Owen in 2003, I can't believe I actually decided to do it again. I didn't have any drugs with him – not even an IV – and endured 25 hours of labor, including two hours of pushing.
• Did It My Way but Almost Didn't Make It
  I was due on March 15 with our second daughter. My first was a hospital labor and delivery with a spinal and "patchy" epidural.

  I went into labor at around 1 p.m.

• Birth of Russell
  When I went in for my 38-week appointment, the nurse said I would be having an internal exam. I told her that I wouldn't – and the midwife was fine with that.
• Longer Second Labor, Drug Free
  It took many months to conceive our first child, a darling little girl, so when she turned 1 year old we thought it was time to start working on No. 2.
• Children Attending Birth
  I knew the day I saw that positive pregnancy test that I wanted to give birth to my third baby surrounded by my loving family. This included my two children – 7-year-old Niko and 9-year-old Riley.
• My Three Different Births
  Let me start out by saying I have three sons, Justin (December 2, 1993); Dalton (July 19, 1998); Jordan (August 17, 2003). I had very three similar but just slightly different births.
• Storm Spotting Baby
  My birth story is so dramatic that it sounds like something out of a movie. Let me give you a brief background.
