11 of 44

I had my daughter, my first born 6 years ago in a small rural hospital in Bishop, California.

I chose a midwife for my pregnancy care for the simple fact that she ... More..

The birth of my little girl was quite a comedy. After having gone into premature labor at 32 weeks and trying desperately to stop it, I made it to my due date...and 6 days beyond!

But here is where it gets a little scary for me. I am the wife of a Correctional Officer. My husbad has been the officer that is standing ... More..

Here is my story. About 3 years ago I went to my Doctor complaining that I felt sluggish, tired, was losing more hair than I normally did and was having trouble losing the last 10 pounds after the birth of my second child.
