More Birth Stories (31 for 21, Day 13)

This is another topic that I did last year.  However, in the time since then I have found many new birth stories that have touched my heart.  Again, I don't think there is a greater leveler than birth.  It doesn't matter who you are... start talking about contractions and experiences (both good and bad) and you will be surprised who is in the conversation.  It reminds us all that we are human.

We also have some prenatal testing stories this time around as well.

• A Bumpy Beginning
• {Birth Story}
• Ella's Story
• From the Beginning...
• Guilt
• I refuse to call this the 'birth story'
• Our Story
• Retro Jessie:  Life with Jessie 1:  In the Beginning
• The Beginning
• The Ever Present Question

Just in case you are new or would like a reminder,  here is our story:

• It Only Hurts When I Breathe (Wyatt's Diagnosis)
• The Waiting Game (Visiting the Specialists)
• The Best Laid Plans (Wyatt and Zoe's Birth Story)
• Checking In (in the NICU)
• What a Year a Difference Makes (a 1 year retrospective)

These are stories with a little extra.  These are stories that share both joy and pain in them.  To me, those are the stories that are worth telling the most.
