iso uplifting homebirth stories/resources

[moonglowmama]

Hi all!
I'm planning a homebirth; it will be my fourth, but it's been 5 years since my last one. I just finished Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, which was just the sort of uplifting, empowering thing I need right now.

Can you tell me of other books, websites, photo collections, etc. that you like to turn to get the lift you need to prepare for homebirth?

Thanks!!!!

I love reading the birth stories here on MDC. There are some incredibly inspiring ones.

I used to spend alot of time looking at www.waterbirth.org and I enjoyed reading Gentle Birth Choices and of course Ina May's Spiritual Midwifery and Natural Childbirth books.

Journey Into Motherhood is a mixed bag of homebirth and hospital birth stories, but most of them are very peaceful, all of them are positive.

I can give you my own daughter's birth story. In a hospital I'd have been given pit or sectioned because labor didn't start after my water broke. This was handled at home with minimal intervention. I have photos posted further down. Katherine.
