Text Hannah! I want to start out by saying I'm NOT anti-c-section. I'm not against scheduling repeat c-sections simply because YOU want to. What I'm against is unnecessary c-sections.

I love a good birth story and this one is so sweet! If I had a quarter for anytime I heard a first time mom say she’s going to birth at a birth center or hospital for the first one “just in case.” There is no “test run” in your childbaring years.
