I'm a Texan born woman transplanted across the ocean to live in England with my husband and four boys. Aside from being a stay-at-home mom, I teach birth classes for couples who want to birth naturally. My blog is about my life and how I stay sane through it all.

Natural Childbirth of Twins and Triplets!
I thought this was cool and thought I'd post it for fun. It is a picture slideshow--no graphic photos. Totally inspiring though!
I'm glad you found us. I've been lurking around for a while from the Maney's site too. I'm so thankful for the blog world to keep up with old friends. :) Charissa
What a terrific video, the women and babies are so awesome (in the best sense of the word) and so very beautiful....made me reach for tissues while smiling like a fool. Thanks for sharing, sweetie.
What a great post! I just found out some good friends of ours are 10 wks along with twins. I passed this video along. It's just amazing the stereotypes about birthing twins.
That's so inspiring--i don't think i've seen the belly of a multiples-carrying mom before. wow.
What stands out to me is that all of the families here are "white" (except maybe one, right?). Why do you think that is? (a phenomenon of the movement/access to information/a result of the people this person happened to be connected to)...
And i wonder how many of these multiples were the result of fertility treatments...which brings up a slew of other questions for me...but also might have bearing on the first question, as far as access to and cost of the treatment.
Bottom line question is do you find that the home/natural birth movement is accessible to a diverse population? And if not, what do you think are the obstacles?
