Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.We want to flood the internet with the reality that home birth stories are happening everyday and not enough people are hearing about them. They are everyday stories and they are also fascinating to those whose sole form of entertainment is birth podcasts! We want to hear all of the stories. There are prompts below to help you craft a rich story, and do NOT let any perceived lack of storytelling ability keep you from letting your story be known. Please tell us as much as you can and select all of the various options to help us organize the stories. We will also organize them into commonly held human themes that go beyond the specifics of the story: choice, relationship, home, family, cultural norms.
