Bite-size and beautifully scripted thoughts for home-birthing and free-birthing mamas on walking through the childbearing year holistically and with faith in the Great Midwife, aligned with His brilliant design.
An older mom and [largely] offline birth doula and birthkeeper talks about how being out of touch with the current birth-o-sphere and no longer in her childbearing season has perhaps made her a little irrelevant but has also made some things really CLEAR. Call it birth essentialism, if you like.
If you're a young, pregnant mother, the vantage point offered here may be just the thing you need lessen worry and stress.

My 6th Birth Story: Gilbert Ignatius (2022)
My sixth baby was born when I was 42 years old, and for him we hired a midwife who'd been in practice since the year I was born. His pregnancy and birth stretched me and produced a lot of agitation, weirdly!
You can read (https://sisterbirth.com/2022/11/15/my-birth-stories-gilbert-ignatius/) and see photos (https://sisterbirth.com/2023/08/01/my-births-gilbert-ignatius-photos/) from his birth here.
