I am so excited to get this blog started.  I love talking about all things relating to pregnancy, birth, and motherhood and I’m so excited to share them with you.

American birth, just like weddings, has become so commercialized.  It’s become very easy to get sucked into having the perfect birth plan, perfect registry or latest and greatest baby gear.  I get sucked into it too sometimes.  But when you strip all that away and just look at birth in its most simple state, there is an amazing transformation that happens.  Not only are you bringing this new baby into the world, but the baby is bringing you into the world in a new way....the birth of a mother.  How cool is that?  ALL birth experiences are valuable and have something to teach us if we’re aware and listening.

I’m going to be featuring birth stories of all kinds with this specific focus: What did your birth experience teach you about yourself?

I can’t wait to “Return to Birth” with you!
