Birth Memoirs

Although you may be familiar with the term “Birth Story,” we prefer the term “Birth Memoir.” For some, “Story” connotes a narrative that is fabricated.  This is a place for birth parents to tell their truth,
in their own powerful words.
There is much knowledge to be gleaned from the experiences of others.
These are the birth memoirs of people who have given birth in our community,
always shared with permission.

About Birth Memoirs

The Birth Memoir of Laurel Cate

11/5/2017

In this memoir Heather Davis' shares about her hard work to achieve a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). She was a BirthWise doula client for her first birth (with Dalia).
As you read this memoir, please keep in mind that birth is a time when women experience very intense emotions, and these strong feelings tend to fade slowly, if at all. Be mindful that the emotions elicited by birth are equally as important as the events themselves. How we remember our births impacts us for a lifetime. Read about why we are sharing these memoirs here.
