121 Positive Natural Birth Stories: Inspirational & Motivational

I didn’t have a natural childbirth. I have mucho respect for those moms that have the courage and strength to go through with it, and I wish I did too, but it just wasn’t meant to be. If you’re interested in having a natural birth, you’re definitely not alone! While there are a lot of people that are against it, you’ll also find a lot of women that swear by having a natural birth.

Those of us that want to have a natural birth and look around the internet for stories and advice might come across some of the negative, fear-mongering stuff that exists out there, and for the pregnant mommy, that’s really the last thing we need to read.

I’ve compiled a list of 120 positive natural birth stories from around the internet. I hope it serves to encourage and give you strength!
