It is so crazy! I actually need to go back and re-read that story because there are a couple things that I have remembered since I wrote it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-birth-story-you-ever-read#post-2117901 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 23:20:35 +0000 Maysprout 2117901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/09/20/the-accidental-home-birth/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/09/20/the-accidental-home-birth/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-birth-story-you-ever-read#post-2117827 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 20:40:22 +0000 anonysquire 2117827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: haha, you're so sweet!!!

Hers was one of the first I even remember reading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-birth-story-you-ever-read#post-2115005 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 18:41:08 +0000 Adira 2115005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: YES!!! That picture when their son is born - it is BEAUTIFUL. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-birth-story-you-ever-read#post-2114991 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 18:30:55 +0000 sarac 2114991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a favorite, but man was I glad to have read so many. I'd read several different versions of Ina May Gaskin's books, and all the different stories in those. From that, I knew that was very common for even normal babies to need help breathing after birth - so I didn't stress when my daughter did. It was immensely helpful, I'm really glad I did it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-birth-story-you-ever-read#post-2114979 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 18:23:53 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2114979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: That picture at the end is so beautiful!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-birth-story-you-ever-read#post-2114870 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 16:28:46 +0000 wrkbrk 2114870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@My Only Sunshine: Thank you so much for sharing this. I have just spent the last 40 minutes reading many of her entries at my desk, starting with the birth story of Nella. Unbelievably written. I have a new favorite blog. And I bought her book! So, thank you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-birth-story-you-ever-read#post-2114869 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 16:27:29 +0000 Ree723 2114869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: That's right! As soon as you mentioned that it was a story told in pictures, several more of the images popped to mind as well. Such a wonderful way to document M's birth!</p> <p>@sorrycharlie: Yeah, my C is 13 months old and her birth story is still only half written....I can't even remember the rest of it now! :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-birth-story-you-ever-read#post-2114848 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 16:09:22 +0000 sorrycharlie 2114848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a favorite!
