Catching your own baby: (Caution: This might be too much information!) Bet you didn't know that it's possible to catch your own baby. Birth stories with photos of women delivering into their own hands. You may find strength for your own birth just knowing that women are capable of this! [Editor's Note: While Baby Moon supports a woman's right to choose her birth setting, we do not ever, ever recommend birthing without a qualified birth attendant present.]

(see the Links page for more information about your birthing options.)

These birth stories are presented in an effort to expand our awareness of the possibilities in birth and not as an endorsement of any particular method. Educate yourself, consult with your care provider, and plan the birth that feels right for your family. Then be prepared to take things as they come--babies often have their own agenda!
