A Mom Of Five’s Experiences Having Hospital Births + Home Births
I’ve been able to have five natural births. Most might find that statement incredibly scary but looking back at each one, there was a lesson and for the most part, a great experience resulting in the birth of one of my children.

I am thankful that my husband and I know how important self care is for both of us and we try to make it happen every week. This hasn’t always been the case and it really caused us to struggle mentally.
