Pregnancy and Birth can be an amazing time for a woman. I found myself drawn to stories, images and having many questions about what if. Sharing our birth stories seemed very natural to me, even though things didn’t always go how we’d wished they would. In the end, we’ve been blessed with 4 amazing children, here on earth with us – who continue to inspire, bring awe and smiles to us daily.
