Share your BirthStory

Bridge the digital world by sharing the imperfect perfect story of your child’s birth. 

Just paste your story below. I’m not going to grade it. I’m not going to check your grammar. I’m definitely not going to force you to do anything you don’t want to do. 

(If there are parts that might inspire other women, I will ask for your permission before I show them your bold act.)

Would you be open to sharing this with other mamas? I’ll check with you before I do anything with it.

The mysterious musings of my spiraling spine

I injured my knee nearly three years ago. But if I’m being honest, the pain began in 1987.

That was the year I bent over in front of my pediatrician as he showed my mother the growing curve in my spine. I was ten years old. I remember feeling cold, wearing only fuchsia underwear that were a size too big for me and, I felt, slightly risqué for my age. As they went over the details of the progression, treatments, and complications (which included death from suffocation), all I could do was wish that I had chosen different panties.

How to clear the fog

There are many memes about 2020 being a do-over. I laugh too, but I always add an extra punch line: There are no do-overs. There is only what we are given and what we do with it.

Many people have buried themselves in a fog these past six months. It’s the mind’s natural response when faced with too much: COVID-19, racial reckoning, the cruel joke of online schooling, presidential disasters, wildfires…

“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
