In listening to the stories of mothers who have chosen home birth, the same sentiments are heard again and again. Here is what they have to say in their own words:
1. There is no better way to birth. ~Anne Stevens
2. I loved laboring in my own sacred space. ~ Mary Moon
3. I would do it again and again. ~Anne Stevens
4. I chose a home birth because I wanted to be comfortable and in control. ~Robin Murphy
5. They (my team) allowed me to be the one in charge and call all the shots. ~Anne Stevens
6. I never even felt scared. ~ Mary Moon
7. I loved that I didn’t have to leave and go anywhere. ~ Mary Moon
