Metro Detroit Birth Stories
Our 1st Birth Stories
In this episode, we recount the events surrounding the births of our first children, Exie's in 1995 and Ciana's in 2010.
Join us on a walk down memory lane that includes a spontaneous breaking of water, a humorous warning about the effects of castor oil, and how access to information impacted our babies' births.
We have a good laugh at ourselves and discuss how our own experiences affect how we approach birth now as doulas.
Birth support services helping clients feel supported, cared for and confident about birth.
