Really lovely account of her experience of natural childbirth on her blog.

Just wiping a few tears away...

I heart dooce. I can totally see my birth story reading like that

I have been waiting for part three . I have tears in my eyes.

I love Dooce. Her children are just beautiful. Still going for an ELCS though

I adore Dooce, and I also had a little cry at that. In my opinion its the best natural birth story I've ever read - because she doesn't gloss over the awkward bits later to make it sound better. She's just honest. I also loved reading about the birh of her friends baby, that inspired her to try and have a natural birth herself.

Also, she is American, and anyone who challenges the frankly mad system in the U.S and gives birth their way is a hero in my book!
