A round up of over 60 birth stories to help prepare your mind for labor and delivery. Also a great place to see so many cute baby faces!
One of the ways I love to prepare my mind for birthing a baby is to read and listen to birth stories. I was recently interviewed about the topic of empowered birth and as I was asked where I find the birth stories I read and listened to, I realized I didn’t have a resource to point the interview host to – until NOW! I’ve compiled over 60 birth stories that I’ve read/listened to over the years. The beautiful thing about birth is that no birth is the same and every baby writes their own story of coming into this world.
I hope you enjoy diving into these birth stories as much I have! The birth stories are simply sorted in alphabetic order and will be noted as podcast if they are an audio format. All other birth stories are written!

[…] fact, not long after Holland was born I compiled a resource of 60+ birth stories. A great starting point if you’ve wanting to dive into all kinds of birth […]
Thank you for compiling this list of birth stories! This is also one of my favorite ways to prepare for birth.
I wrote my own birth story (read it here: https://mamarissa.com/my-natural-hospital-birth-story/) with the hope that it would be as encouraging to someone else as other women’s birth stories are to me.
What a great resource to have 60 birth stories so easily accessible!
Thanks Marissa! Birth stories are always so encouraging.
