Calm within the storm
The birth of Blaire.
Nice to meet you: The birth of Everly
I knew immediately what I always knew in my heart the moment I saw the positive pregnancy test. It was a girl. It was Everly.
Convictions: The birth of Navy
"Somewhere between that lovely glucose test and my Tdap vaccine, I decided to look into natural birth plans ... and I switched practices at 37 weeks pregnant!"
Big break: The birth of Elliott
"At 1:30 p.m. we got good news and bad news: I was 8 centimeters dilated, but the baby was sunny side up. The doctor had me change positions again to try to get the baby to flip. I kept moving into different positions, but our baby stubbornly refused to turn over."
Sudden rush: The birth of Faye
"Around 4:30 a.m. I all of a sudden felt the urge to push. I told John to get the nurse, and sure enough, I was a 9. They started rushing in the equipment to set up for delivery. I would be pushing very soon!"
