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.
