Today, my firstborn child turns 4 years old.
When I was 15 weeks pregnant, I left his father, my fiancé, and spent most of my pregnancy preparing to be a single mother.
I also readied for a natural birth.
Though I was nervous about the impending step into parenthood, I had a midwife I adored and a host of incredibly supportive friends.
In honor of my Little L, I thought I’d share his birth story with you. I believe in natural birth. And in sharing our stories, hopefully we can empower other women to trust in their ability to bring babies into the world peacefully and without unnecessary interventions.
