Unassisted Birth
The unassisted birth of Maelle C. Born 10 days "late" weighing 9 pounds 11 ounces, 21.5" long. Only myself, my husband and my sister were present (well, Maelle was present too).
The placenta came out about 15-20 minutes after the birth. We cut the cord about 5 minutes after the placenta had been delivered, when the cord was white and limp (no more blood flow).
This was my second birth, but my first homebirth. I used HypnoBirthing to help me stay relaxed, and read books to give me useful ideas and encouragement on how to birth naturally. My 2 favorite books were Ina May's Guide to Childbirth and Birthing from Within.

Bastian's Birth - Part 1
Bastian James was bornfree 11/20/2007 at 4:29am. He weighed 10.95 lbs and was nearly 23 inches long. Though I had the support of a large community of friends, Bastian's birth was unassisted by medical professionals - no doctor, midwife, or doula was present at his birth. I did my own prenatal care and prepared by educating myself and reading positive birth stories.
This was my third birth and my first homebirth. I wouldn't have had it any other way! I only wish I'd stayed home for all three. Yes, it was painful. I wanted to show what it was really like. It was really hard, yes, but it was amazing. I did it! Really, all I did was trust my body to do it's job. That's all. It's both no big deal and pretty remarkable, I guess.
One night in November, friends came over and I had a baby. We sat around afterwards and talked and ate together...and oh my goodness, did I feel loved!
