Birth Healing by Rosetta Thuresson
In 1975, my mother died giving birth to me in a small California town. The story, according to my grandmother, is that I was past due. My mother’s doctor was about to leave for vacation and recommended induction. My mother very much wanted a baby; she wanted nothing more than to be a mother. She had two stillbirths before me: Michelle and Christine are the older sisters I never got the chance to meet face-to-face.

Footling Breech: A Midwife’s Own Birth Story by Veronica Wagner
The positive and powerful attitude I have toward birth, specifically breech birth, is a reflection of my own entrance into this world. I have always loved to take care of breech babies and have had the privilege of assisting in hundreds of breech homebirths. Each time, I am thankful to God and experience a calmness and assurance that comes from thinking back to my own birth memories.
